To teach principles that govern the process of modern drug discovery and development. Students in the course follow a path similar to that taken by real-life drug developers by learning important elements of the drug design process in a logical order.
The Drug Design course at UCSB is being taught as a two-quarter series. The instructors hope that this expansion facilitates the exploration of different aspects of the drug discovery process and gives students more time and tools to work on their "Drug Discovery Course Project". In particular, students in the class will have more time for hands-on work, especially on structure-based drug discovery. The Fall and Winter Quarter Drug Design courses in 2007-2008 academic year will be taught by Drs. Norbert Reich and Kalju Kahn. Students with good background in biochemistry are allowed to take Chem 162B/262B without taking Chem 162A/262B this academic year.

Students in this course encounter many terms which have specific meaning in the context of drug design and medicine. You may find our glossary helpful when reading some of the assigned papers. If you encounter a term that is not in this dictionary, you could try a specialized medicinal chemistry glossary at www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iupac/medchem ,an on-line dictionary at www.dictionary.com or an on-line encyclopedia at www.wikipedia.com . Feel free to send any additions and suggestions to Kalju Kahn
