The programme has been designed to prepare you for a career in computational drug discovery.
You'll developed advanced computational skills. We will teach you how to code in Python and how to implement and use machine and deep learning methods in the context of drug discovery, interpret their predictions and assess their quality.
You'll build a solid foundation in the essential concepts of drug discovery such as how to design a molecule to bind a target protein and how to optimise its chemical structure. You'll have the opportunity to apply your computational skills to drug discovery as you study scientific computing and learn modelling and simulation techniques for biomolecular systems.
