BMS 8902 Pharmacology and Chemical Biology
This course will introduce fundamental concepts important to the science of drug action and target identification. The course will build upon our understanding of the initial rationale for and ultimately the successful implementation of novel drug therapies at St. Jude. The course will describe and discuss features of the host, the target cell, and the biochemical targets that affect drug action. The course will also discuss modern approaches to screening for new drugs and the identification of drug targets. This course will be complemented by core facility visits.
