Modern Drug Discovery Technologies
PATH228/BIOM228/PHAR228
Units: 2
Quarter: Sp
Location: The Burnham Institute: Building 10, Room 1308 or 1502, and Building 2, Room 2000
Lectures: 10 A.M.-12:00 P.M. Monday or Tuesday
Demos: 1:00P.M. - 2:00 P.M. Monday or Tuesday
Course Director: Maurizio Pellecchia
This class will be taught on Monday or Friday each week by program faculty whose laboratories
are actively involved in discovering and developing small organic molecules against
therapeutically relevant targets. The course covers the basic principles of Computer-aided drug
design, structure-based drug design, fragment-based drug design, Medicinal chemistry, high-
throughput screening, cell-based screens, and progression of drug development from lead
compound to commercialized drug. Examples recently published from the laboratories of
program faculty will be included. The class also includes two practical sessions in HTS and
computational docking (Course Coordinator Dr. Maurizio Pellecchia, additional faculty are Dr. Ziwei Huang, Dr. Jeff Price, Dr. Mark Mercola, Dr. John Cashman (HBRI), Dr. Robert Abraham (Wyeth) and
Dr. Tomas Mustelin (Amgen)).
Students should email Lloyd Slivka at (
lslivka@burnham.org)
to sign up for the course.
