BT-GY 7043 Computer-Aided Protein and Drug Design

3 Credits
This course is aimed at familiarizing students with the fundamental principles of computational drug design, including both engineered protein drugs (biologics) and small molecules.  Basic concepts in bioinformatics, cheminformatics and molecular modeling (homology modeling, ab initio structure prediction, computational molecular docking) will be taught as a foundation for advanced, specific case studies in protein engineering and drug design applied to specific biomedical problems such as cancer and infectious diseases.

Prerequisite(s): Advisor’s or instructor’s permission
Weekly Lecture Hours: 3
