Drug Discovery Course
This quarter-long course will survey how new drugs are discovered and brought to the clinic. Expert industry speakers will address marketplace trends and implications for research planning in drug discovery.
In this course, students will develop their own project for a discovery opportunity, and present their plan to the class participants. Topics will include:
- target identification
- screening methodologies and assays
- mechanism-based design
- structure-based design
- chemical analoging
- in vitro and in vivo testing
- issues commonly encountered during earlystage development
Content will take the form of lectures, readings, a workshop and discussions.
Enrollment only available to UCSF postdocs, graduate students or Pharmacy students. Course size is strictly limited.
