寻找新药一直是研究生化学家的重要角色。传统上，药物基于相对较小的分子，化学家的工作是利用他们对有机化学的了解来合成潜在的候选药物。随着技术的最新发展，制药行业正在发生巨大变化。本学位课程的发展反映了这一点。细胞治疗，生物药物，先进的交付，计算工具的使用等领域都在推动行业向前发展。药物化学家不能仅仅拥有分子合成方面的专业知识-最近在化学界已经发现了许多最重要的发现，而好的药物化学将需要跨多个学科的专业知识。认识到这一点，我们的课程将为您提供传统的有机合成工具，例如，但也会为您提供诸如计算化学等领域的实践经验
Chemists with a good understanding of the biosciences and an ability to apply their chemistry knowledge to biological and medicinal problems are in high demand.<br>The interface of chemistry and bioscience is one of the leading areas driving 21st century research and development. Science is becoming more and more interdisciplinary as we seek solutions for environmental problems, such as carbon capture and the ability to do greener chemistry, and the development of targeted and personalised medicines. <br>Many of the most important recent discoveries have been made at the interfaces of chemistry and biology, and chemists are needing to become well versed in both biological and medicinal chemistry. This degree course has evolved to reflect this and will equip you with the traditional tools of organic synthesis and the necessary biology and biochemistry you need to succeed. We will give you hands-on experience across a range of disciplines, even including areas such as computational chemistry to solve medicinal and biological chemistry problems.
