Course objectives
The main objective of the course is to provide students with the basics of drug discovery and understanding the relationship between the chemical structure of molecules and their pharmacological activity. Moreover, the course prefigures to provide the student with a highly professionalized competence of business and national pharmaceutical research centers, on the different aspects of instrumental analysis in the different phases of the discovery, development and production process of the pharmaceutical industry.
