The Subcommittee on Drug Discovery and Development of the IUPAC Chemistry and Human Health Division is coordinating a short course on “Highlights in Medicinal Chemistry,” during the XXI University Summer School in Rio, to be held in 26-30 January 2015. The course is targeted to postgraduate students and researchers from Brazil and other countries of South America.

Most of the lecturers are inventors of drugs, and so they provide a real insight into the process of new drug discovery.

A summary of the program outline :

Opening Session
