LAB Course
Project course: Lab projects focusing on the modern research issues in one of the participating research groups.
Seminar research projects: students reports on lab projects. Discussions on recent publications in the field of drug discovery (within the respective research units).

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

The students are able

• to understand the basic and advanced principles of medicinal chemical, molecular biological and Computer chemistry based applications in the field of modern drug design research

• to utilize modern experimental techniques to prepare and characterize various samples with in the lab project

• to apply modern simulation techniques for the modeling of proteins

• to interpret and to critically summarize experimental results in written form (lab report), and to present and discuss these results within the research group or in front of a student audience

• to participate in planning, developing and executing of experimental routes for the synthesis of drugs

• to judge and to discuss in oral form their research results in the field of drug discovery in comparison to recent publications.
