| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Introductory lectures for students majoring in medical and organic chemistry or bioinformatics and chemical genomics in the master's program. The course outlines the research background that forms the foundation of pharmaceutical discovery in fields such as organic chemistry, synthetic chemistry, medical chemistry, galenical and natural products chemistry, and chemical biology, which constitute the basis of medical and organic chemistry, as well as bioinformatics and chemical genomics, with the aim of equipping students with basic knowledge and establishing basic research activities. Teaching staff from each field will give lectures on the latest topics in medical and organic chemistry and bioinformatics and chemical genomics. Visiting lecturers from pharmaceutical companies will also be invited to speak where appropriate. |
