About this course
This degree programme provides the framework for understanding Medicinal and Biological Chemistry, building on a solid foundation in chemistry, cell and molecular biology, from the basics to the cutting-edge of today's research. Medicinal and biological chemistry aims to understand biological mechanisms and processes of atoms and molecules. Through understanding the tools of synthetic chemistry and genetic manipulation, we can design and deliver pharmaceutical interventions.
You will learn how new insights into the molecular basis of diseases are being combined with advances in chemistry, biology and nanotechnology. You will understand how these advances are helping to create new generations of innovative therapeutics.
