Drug Design (Fall 2024)

This course aims 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.

Chemical Kinetics - Fall 2024

This course aims to introduce the laws and theories governing rates of chemical reactions and reaction mechanisms. Empirical treatment of reaction rates, and quantitative analysis of kinetics data will be emphasized. We will cover several examples of gas-phase and solution-phase reactions, and outline principles of catalysis. We will look at the analysis of more complex mechanisms, such as the consecutive and reversible reactions. On the theoretical front, collision theory and transition state theory will be introduced.
