You will gain insight into the molecular causes of diseases, explore innovative therapeutics, and work with everything from small molecules and proteins to complex diseases and medicines, all within the context of pharmaceutical sciences. If you are fascinated by the development of new pharmacological therapies and medicines, then this is the perfect programme for you.
Create new medicines from a chemical perspective
Sixty percent of all diseases still have no cure, presenting a major challenge in modern medicine and an urgent need for new solutions. As a Master’s student of Drug Discovery Sciences, you will approach drug discovery from a unique chemistry-driven perspective.
Discover your Drug Discovery Sciences programme
You’ll focus on the chemical and molecular aspects of early drug discovery. From the identification of new protein targets, computational design and synthesis of new molecules and radiopharmaceuticals, the affinity towards its target and the cellular response, to eventually the metabolism and toxicity of the molecule. You will choose an in-depth specialisation that suits your interests, while gaining knowledge in all drug discovery disciplines.
