Course Overview
The primary aim of this online programme on Medicinal Chemistry by Swayam is to make the registered students familiarize themselves with the fundamental and primary concepts of drug discovery and the process of its development. The certification course has been formulated for the students who are having a background in the subject of chemistry and are interested in the process of drug discovery.
The purpose of this programme is to train the candidates on the various aspects of new drug development and drug discovery The Medicinal Chemistry certification syllabus will be dealing with - target identification, drug screening, optimization lead discovery, and the molecular basis for the process drug design and framing the drug action.
The twelve-week programme will be emphasizing the students on the subject of chemistry. After completing the online programme the students will learn to classify the drugs on various lines. They will also study transition-state inhibitors in this programme.
