CHEM 4450 Modern Methods in Drug Design

The identification of promising hits and the generation of high-quality leads are crucial steps in the early stages of drug discovery projects. The assessment of both chemical and biological aspects has strengthened the screening process model and emphasized the importance of exploring the conventional and modern techniques in drug discovery. Modern drug design involves the use of a wide variety of such technologies and expertise and the synergistic effects between experimental and computational approaches on the selection of bioactive compounds. These methods involve computational, spectroscopic, analytical, and purification methods, cellular assays, and molecular biology methods. This course provides a brief perspective on the evolution and use of key drug design technologies, highlighting opportunities and challenges. This course is Technology Intensive.
