Summary
By understanding the mechanisms of drugs action, new molecules can be developed with improved pharmacological properties and reduced side effects.
The field of medicinal chemistry is becoming increasingly important as we continue to push the boundaries in the discovery of new drugs and applications in healthcare. This MSc in Medicinal Chemistry will allow you to specialise in this area and explore the wider context of drug discovery, business and healthcare.
On the course, you will develop the specific technical knowledge, understanding and laboratory skills needed to design drugs. You will also investigate the relationship between medicinal chemists and drug discovery companies with stakeholders such as patients, investors and governments.
Distinctive features
- Available on a one year full-time or three year part-time basis.
- Explore medicinal chemistry in a wider industrial context, including how businesses interact with patients and investors.
