Chemistry For Drug Discovery And Development

About this course

Chemistry for drug discovery and development focuses the broad power of chemistry on one of its most consequential applications: the design and development of medicines. Drug discovery is a discipline that requires deep chemical understanding combined with biological knowledge, asking how small molecules can be designed to interact with specific biological targets, how their properties can be optimised for efficacy, safety and bioavailability, and how they can be synthesised and tested in ways that bring them from the laboratory towards the clinic. It is a field that demands both creative chemical thinking and rigorous analytical practice. At the University of Lincoln, this three-year full-time programme develops your chemical knowledge across the core areas of organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry, with a particular focus on the pharmaceutical context.
