PMY 527LEC Modern Approaches to Drug Discovery

This course will provide students with hands-on experience in 1) transcriptomic techniques (RNA-seq analysis) for target identification and validation, 2) computational techniques for target assessment and structure-assisted drug discovery, and 3) preclinical studies for establishment of efficacy in animal models. One faculty member will provide instruction in each area over the course of the semester. Students are required to bring a notebook computer to class, as the course provides hands-on training using open-source software packages for the analysis of genomic data and molecular visualization. Course prerequisites: None (Suitable for Masters and Doctoral candidates in Biomedical Sciences, Pharmacology, and Pharmaceutical Sciences) Class Capacity: 10
