This course for doctoral students provides a comprehensive overview of pharmaceutical informatics. Pharmaceutical informatics is a study of wide-range computational and data-driven approaches to accelerate steps in the drug development process including hit compound discovery, compound optimization and side effect prediction. The course focuses especially on the drug design step, and gives detailed introduction to Ligand-Based Drug Design (LBDD) and Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD).
Students' qualifications will be assessed with the written report on the frontier research field from the viewpoint of the qualities for doctor.
