课程概览
Our one-year MSc Drug Discovery Science course explores the drug discovery and design techniques used in the pharmaceutical industry to discover chemical entities as new pharmaceuticals. Whether you want to advance your understanding of the topics you found most interesting during your undergraduate studies, or gain the skills needed to achieve your goals, this course is designed to help you build the foundations for a successful career. Taught by world-leading scientists, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art screening and analysis facilities. You’ll study topics such as pharmacology, toxicology and genomics, learning how target molecules to treat specific diseases are identified, characterised and optimised for potential clinical trials. Your training will cover the fundamental chemistry and biology of drug targets and their role in disease. You’ll learn about computer-aided drug design techniques, used to predict how well a potential drug might work, and screening technologies for testing a drug’s effect on its molecular targets. One of the biggest parts of your degree is a research project. Under the guidance of a supervisor, who is an expert in their field, you’ll work as part of a team on a project relevant to the various stages of drug discovery. You’ll review research literature, conduct your own research, and handle and analyse data. You’ll also gain experience communicating your findings verbally and in writing. Examples of recent research projects include:
