Drug Design I

Recommended Prerequisites

General Chemistry/ Organic Chemistry  

Teaching Methods

The course consists of lectures, problem-solving classes and lab classes.

Lectures: presentation of theoretical concepts using audiovisual methods (data-show, etc.), always accompanied by the use of the blackboard, an important tool for discussion because the rate of presentation of topics allows the student to follow more closely the topics. Student participation will be encouraged.

Problem-solving classes: presentation of exercises to be discussed and resolved.

Practical classes: carrying out different projects will allow familiarization with essential lab techniques.
