PHCL460 - Designing Drugs - from Chemistry to Cure

Pharmacology Undergraduate UA - UA General

Course Description

This course, conducted in collaboration with the College of Medicine Department of Pharmacology, will integrate content from the entire curriculum in an advanced course focused on identification of diseases of interest, identification of disease targets, and considerations of the design of drugs targeting these molecules. This will happen at a depth of knowledge greater than that of the introductory drug discovery course (PCOL 410), and will introduce students to computational approaches to designing drug molecules based on a protein target of known 3-dimensional structure using in-class work and homework assignments.
