Medicinal Chemistry
Learning outcomes
Students who graduate from Medicinal Chemistry will be able to:
| No. | Learning outcome |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge of the processes involved in modern drug discovery. |
| 2 | Exhibit an integrated knowledge of how advances in science and technology are changing the ways in which drug discovery and development are being pursued. |
| 3 | Describe the application of genomics, proteomics and metabolomics as they apply to drug target validation and assess the efficacy of drug action. |
| 4 | Source, collate, synthesise and critically evaluate medicinal chemistry information from a range of relevant sources. |
| 5 | Communicate core concepts and findings in medicinal chemistry through a range of modes for a variety of purposes and audiences, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique. |
| 6 | Judge a drug candidate and identify important criteria for development, including physicochemical properties and synthetic accessibility. |
| 7 | Describe the processes involved in translating a therapeutic to market. |
| 8 | Independently propose and justify reasonable and efficient synthetic approaches towards small organic molecule drug candidates. |
| 9 | Develop creative and innovative approaches to problem solving in the field of medicinal chemistry and work effectively, responsibly and safely in individual and collaborative contexts. |
| 10 | Collaboratively design a strategy to identify and validate a disease-specific target, working in a professional and ethical manner whilst adhering to industry regulatory standards. |
| 11 | Address authentic problems in medicinal chemistry, working professionally and ethically and with consideration of cross-cultural perspectives, within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams. |
