Medicinal chemistry embodies the application of molecular sciences to the discovery, design and synthesis of new medicines. It combines a solid foundation of chemistry with contemporary biology, biochemistry and pharmacology. In the Medicinal Chemistry major, you’ll explore the interaction of drugs or drug leads with biological targets at a molecular level, methods of drug discovery, rational drug design and development, and the mechanisms of action of specific classes of drugs, including antibacterial, anticancer and neuroactive drugs. You’ll be equipped to design new potent and selective pharmaceutical agents to address global health issues with independent research skills, and you’ll develop capabilities to analyse how drugs work at a molecular level. And you’ll boost your future career possibilities with the ability to communicate all of these medicinal chemistry concepts competently in a range of modes.
