The aim of this module is to demonstrate the relevance and importance of the principles of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics with a focus on medicinal chemistry. It will stress the importance of the relationship between drug disposition and drug response.
The module will be mainly taught through online lectures. Formative exercises will be submitted electronically, and feedback will be provided electronically. Online problem solving workshops will address the topics pharmacokinetics and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modelling and will demonstrate the use of software.
The module will be assessed by two coursework assessments.
