PHAR 9003 - Molecular Targets


This advanced course explores the molecular entities popular for existing and new medicines and the strategies used to validate these targets for drug design and development. We will discuss the impact of diseases on human life, the evolution of drug discovery, and the “exploitable” chemical universe. Included are case studies focusing on how specific drugs were “born” and how they facilitated new understandings about biology and disease. Prerequisite: None, but an understanding of human physiology, cell biology and signaling, and biochemistry is necessary.
