Medicinal Chemistry Summer School 2024
2 - 7 June 2024, Loughborough, United Kingdom
The Royal Society of Chemistry Medicinal Chemistry Summer School will cover topics of interest to drug discovery researchers, helping to increase understanding of the factors governing modern drug discovery from the initial concept through to translational science and intellectual property. Established since 1981, the Summer School has trained many of the world’s leading medicinal chemists working in the pharmaceutical industry and academic research institute.
The school is designed for graduate and post-doctoral chemists with 1-5 years of experience in the field of drug research. Drug discovery is an interdisciplinary subject so delegates from biological or computational backgrounds will benefit from attendance at the school.
The course includes the following topics:
1. Target Validation
2. Computational Chemistry
3. Biological Mechanisms
4. Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism
5. Screening of New Compounds
6. Patents
7. Molecular Biology in Medicinal Chemistry
8. Exploiting a Chemical Lead
9. Combinatorial Chemistry and Molecular Diversity
10. Case Histories of Drug Discovery
11. Toxicology in Drug Discovery
12. Pharmaceutical Considerations in Drug Development
13. Structure-guided Drug Design
14. Physical Properties and Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships
15. Hints and Tips in Medicinal Chemistry
Early bird registration: 15 April
Standard registration: 06 May
