药物发现 Drug Discovery MSc

This MSc develops expertise in drug discovery science, spanning target identification through to getting a drug to market. The course is designed for graduates with backgrounds in chemistry, biosciences, pharmacy, or pharmacology, providing training in target validation, screening platforms, drug optimisation, and pharmacokinetics. Students follow either a biology or chemistry training track based on their undergraduate background, and take part in a distinctive virtual drug discovery exercise that simulates a commercial team environment, engaging in iterative drug design cycles. An intensive full-time research project in the summer provides valuable experimental experience in areas such as novel receptor ligand synthesis, extracellular vesicle roles in cancer, and G-quadruplex targeting.
