Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology

Catalog description

The goal of this course is to provide a foundation in development and application of chemical technologies to the understanding and manipulation of biological systems. Chemical biology is a relatively new field that spans the traditional fields of chemistry and biology by applying chemical technologies to the understanding and manipulation of biological systems. As such, this course should be accessible and provide benefit to students working in both chemical and biological areas. Lectures include higher-level biological chemistry (assuming prior knowledge of biological chemistry at an undergraduate level, such as CHEM 476 or BMB 401 ) and synthetic chemistry and biology principles along with current literature in the field of chemical biology.
