This undergraduate course will teach students how to connect concepts learned to real life application to human disease, pharmacology, and drug discovery. Biopharmaceutical Foundations I lays a strong foundation to prepare students for subsequent and more advanced knowledge linked to the field of Drug Discovery and Development and provides a better understanding of how medicines work in the body. This course provides students with an introductory level understanding of structure, properties, biological functions, bioenergetics, and metabolic fate of macromolecules essential to life (i.e., proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids), and the impact of molecular genetics on these processes.
