Computational Pharmaceutics (7.5 cr)
Advanced simulation and modeling techniques are central tools in the development and design of new drugs. In this course, you will study how computer-based methods are driving the development along an increasingly knowledge-based path to functional pharmaceutical formulations.
The development of new drugs and target-directed therapies require access to computer-based simulation techniques. Correctly formulated, they help us understand the dynamics of pharmaceutical and biological systems, to effectively analyse the abilities of pharmaceutical carrier systems to cross biological barriers as well as mapping interactions between nanoparticles and macromolecules. This is a rapidly developing field, and in the 2021, the Faculty of Pharmacy introduced the course Computational Pharmaceutics.
In this course, you increase your understanding of physically based simulation and modeling methodologies and how to apply them in pharmaceutical and biological research. You also gain knowledge about what distinguishes different modeling and simulation techniques, and how, by choosing the right method, you increase your possibilities to draw conclusions in the many questions you will face in your future role as a pharmaceutical expert.
Welcome to take part in current presentations from the absolute forefront of Computational Pharmaceutics. Alongside our own leading researchers, we engage – via the Faculty of Pharmacy's central role in the national competence center SweDeliver – industry experts as guest lecturers.
