The aim with the course is to give in-depth knowledge within the field of medicinal chemistry. The course focuses in particular on computational methods for design of compounds and parallel synthesis of compound libraries. The course cover the following topics; basic computational chemistry (quantum and molecular mechanics), molecular modelling, docking, QSAR, pharmacophore modelling, library design, parallel synthesis strategies, heterocycle chemistry, scavanger techniques. The course includes a mixture of theory and practice, where the theory is applied through hands-on exercises both in the computational and synthetic parts.
