Laboratory Modules are hands-on training in interdisciplinary and translational experimental, analytical, and computational techniques. Modules are centered around a particular technique, but they fundamentally stress how these techniques can be applied to a variety of different problems, perhaps changing the way students think about how they approach certain problems, and include instruction on what opportunities and constraints techniques have, with a focus on rigor and reproducibility associated with said technique.

This course will survey the current picture in pharmaceutical research, including how targets are selected, how the rational and combinatorial methods are harnessed, as well as how the industry is evolving in the post-genomic era. The instructors will provide background and introduce various topics, which will be discussed by a series of invited lecturers who are active in drug design and discovery. Prerequisites: One BIOCHEM class and one year of Organic Chemistry required.
