Description

This module will touch on many important diseases and therapeutic areas, such as cancer, pain, and neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, you will learn the impact of epigenetics in medicine. Target identification and validation in big Pharma are so important and we will present you with many case studies in these areas, especially from big Pharma. An incorrectly selected target can result in a major setback in the drug discovery process.

The unique tutorial and practical sections will equip you with good skills in the most commonly used online database: ChEMBL.
