Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Medicinal and Biological Chemistry (FC17)

Medicinal and Biological Chemistry is concerned with understanding biological mechanisms and processes at the level of the atoms and molecules involved. In doing so, alongside the tools of synthetic chemistry and genetic manipulation, The University of Edinburgh can design and deliver pharmaceutical interventions.

Students will learn how breakthroughs in the understanding of the molecular basis of diseases are being combined with cross-disciplinary advances in: • Chemistry

• Biology • Nanotechnology

In addition, students will understand how these advances are helping to create new generations of innovative therapeutics.

The program teaches a thorough understanding of the diverse range of molecules and macromolecules needed to build a living organism, including their:

structures properties syntheses (in the lab and in vivo)
