Medicinal and Biological Chemistry (BSc Hons)

at University of Edinburgh

Medicinal and Biological Chemistry is concerned with understanding biological mechanisms and processes at the level of the atoms and molecules involved.

In doing so, alongside the tools of synthetic chemistry and genetic manipulation, we can design and deliver pharmaceutical interventions.

You will learn how breakthroughs in the understanding of the molecular basis of diseases are being combined with cross-disciplinary advances in:
 

• chemistry
• biology
• nanotechnology
