Medicinal Chemistry with a Year in Industry

About this course

Medicinal chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the design, synthesis, and development of pharmaceutical drugs. It sits at the interface of chemistry and biology, asking how molecular structures can be optimised to interact with specific biological targets in ways that produce therapeutic effects. Medicinal chemists design candidate drug molecules, synthesise them in the laboratory, and work with pharmacologists and biologists to understand how those molecules behave in biological systems. The discipline underpins the pharmaceutical industry and is central to the development of new treatments for every kind of disease. At the University of East Anglia, this four-year full-time programme follows the central structure of the MChem Medicinal Chemistry and includes a year spent in an industrial or medicinal chemistry laboratory, giving you first-hand experience of working in t
