Course description

Medicinal chemistry is a multidisciplinary science involving molecular design, chemical synthesis and bioassays followed by modifying compound properties for pharmaceutical applications. Medicinal chemistry thus combines organic chemistry with biochemistry, physical chemistry, microbiology, pharmacology, structural biology, computer modelling and molecular biology. Chemical biology involves the application of chemical techniques, analysis, and synthetic chemistry, to the study and manipulation of biological systems.
