Quick Guide: Medicinal Chemistry

Comments (0)

Produced by the Triple Science Support Programme, this quick guide looks at how medicinal chemists use their technical skills and their knowledge of different organic chemical reactions to develop new small-molecule drugs to treat diseases.

This is a resource produced by current experts in the field of medicinal chemistry to provide teachers with an understanding of current scientific thinking which they can apply in the classroom. The quick guide is a simplified summary of complex ideas for the busy practitioner teaching out of subject or needing a refresher.
