Pharmacology and Drug Discovery

About this course

Pharmacology and Drug Discovery sits at the frontier of biomedical science, investigating how drugs interact with biological systems and how new medicines are identified, developed, and brought to patients. From the molecular binding of a compound to its receptor to the complex clinical trials that determine safety and efficacy, this field encompasses the full arc of medicine development. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the largest and most research-intensive in the world, and pharmacologists occupy central roles within it as well as in academic research and regulatory science. At Queen Mary University of London, this three-year full-time programme also has a distance learning component, giving you flexibility in how you access parts of the curriculum. You will study the principles of pharmacology, including drug targets, receptor pharmacology, and mechanisms of drug action, along
