Innovative analytical methods in drug discovery (4 credits)
Prof. Enrica Calleri
Contents: Study of the most important and innovative analytical techniques used in drug discovery for the determination and characterization of drug-protein binding (separative and non-separative methods). Objectives of the course are: 1) make the students familiar with the theoretical basis of the most recent techniques and analytical methodologies used in the different steps of the drug discovery process (bioaffinity methods, methods based on mass spectrometry, ITC methods, luminescence methods etc.). 2) case studies presentation. Seminars will be also organized and given by experts operating in the drug discovery field. Learning check: written tests.
