Bachelor of Science (Molecular and Drug Design)
B.Sc(M&DD)
|
| Location: | North Terrace Campus |
| Duration: | 3 years
(full-time or
part-time |
| Degree/Award: | Bachelor |
Rapid advances are currently being made in new areas of science such as structure-based drug design, proteomics, and pharmacogenetics. Now that the mapping of the human genome has been completed, characterising the function of every protein encoded in the human genome is the next challenge. The investigation of protein-protein and small molecule-protein interactions has become a significant area of research that will lead to the development of new drugs.
In the Bachelor of Science (Molecular and Drug Design) students will gain an understanding of the areas of chemistry that impact upon biology. This program consists of core training in chemistry and biochemistry, with particular emphasis on molecular drug design and synthesis, and the manner in which molecules interact with each other.
