Course content
"Molecular modeling and design of pharmacological drugs" is an integrated science that emerged at the intersection of chemical, physical, biological and medical sciences. Its task is to use a set of fundamental knowledge and computer technology aimed at creating new pharmacological drugs with specific biological activity. "Molecular modeling and design of pharmacological drugs" is one of those important disciplines that currently determines scientific and technological progress. Its rapid development is associated with solving the global problem of mankind - improving health.
