I teach a free, online course in medicinal chemistry on the edX platform. The course was developed at Davidson College and is currently offered through a collaboration with Novartis. In three previous iterations, the course has attracted over 30,000 registrants from around the world. The course repeats on Monday, March 21st.Sounds interesting!
The course runs 7 weeks and covers topics ranging from pharmacokinetics (Vd, clearance, half-life), metabolism, activity against drug targets (Ki, Kd, IC50), lead discovery (screening, filtering hits), and lead optimization. The target audience for the course includes chem/bio/pharmacy graduate students, very recent hires in pharma, or anyone looking for an introduction into topics relevant to drug discovery.
