Human life expectancy and the quality of life have dramatically increased over the last 100 years. This is directly connected to the rise of modern medicine. The Medicinal Chemistry & Chemical Biology (MCCB) programme places students at the forefront of the revolutionary efforts now underway. This gives students the tools they need to understand and treat disease. The programme provides a fundamental understanding of the drug-body interaction, from the molecular to the macromolecular level, allowing the identification and exploitation of bioactive molecules. The topics will range from drug discovery, molecular docking, drug delivery and resistance, to the intricacies of refining our knowledge of drug target and function within molecular biology. Your studies in MCCB will also comprise early research involvement. This flagship programme is based on an innovative, multidisciplinary approach encompassing life scientists, chemists, biophysicists, and biotechnologists who are addressing the major health challenges of mankind.
