Section Description

ONLINE VERSION: This 3-credit course conveys the molecular mechanisms by which drugs act in the body and the principles drug design. It highlights the importance of medicinal chemistry as it overlaps with the disciplines of chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, cell biology, and pharmacology. The course content is split into two parts. Part 1 loosely follows the flow of content in the textbook. For part 2 we will take a trip back in time and review examples of the “Most important drugs in history”. These are world changing, famous compounds that have had a significant impact on civilization.
