Abstract
In the recent two decades, the multidisciplinary field of medicinal chemistry has undergone several conceptual and technology-driven paradigm changes with significant impact on the skill set medicinal chemists need to acquire during their education. Considering the need for academic medicinal chemistry teaching, this article aims at identifying important skills, competences, and basic knowledge as general learning outcomes based on an analysis of the relevant stakeholders and concludes effective teaching strategies preparing students for a future career as medicinal chemists and drug designers.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
