Medicinal Chemistry 2019 is a course that covers topics such as:

• The terms, definitions and analysis methods used by medicinal chemists in the pharmaceutical industry
• How biological disease targets are selected
• Physicochemical properties influence absorption
• Pharmacokinetics and ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion) and how
• An overview of safety assessment and how chemical structure
• The use of computational chemistry including pharmacophore generation, virtual screening and library design
• Relates to safety

Medicinal Chemistry 2019 brings together:

• Experienced medicinal chemists who wish to gain additional knowledge on how to obtain compounds with optimal drug-like properties and get up to date with the latest thinking
• Young chemists who have just started in industry as medicinal chemists
• Students who are planning a career in industry and can obtain company sponsorship
• Chemists from other areas of Research and Development who would like to gain an appreciation of the processes and drivers involved in drug discovery
