I've been a tutor at the RSC MedChem School on a number of occasions and I can say this is an excellent opportunity for scientists new to drug discovery to benefit from an understanding of all aspects of the drug discovery process, from target and hit identification, through ADME and computational chemistry, to patents and safety studies.

The 2017 Medicinal Chemistry Residential School takes place 11 - 16 June, Loughborough UK, it is always very popular so well worth signing up early.

The 2017 Residential School will take place over 5 days and content is delivered by experts in the field from industry and academia. The programme includes lectures focusing on the fundamental principles of drug discovery, hands-on tutorials allowing delegates to put into practice what they have learnt and case histories from previous drug discovery projects. The programme will also include an evening lecture from a distinguished speaker. Throughout the week course tutors and speakers will be available for informal discussion and there will be plenty of opportunities to network with the broad range of academic and industrial researchers in attendance.
