Sitting at the crossroad of organic chemistry and medicine, this course outlines how an initial hit compound transitions into a lead candidate, and ultimately a drug, in the modern drug discovery worl
The student will engage in a laboratory-based project in the field of physics of living systems in one of the EPFL research labs working in this field.
The course will help students to identify and manage laboratory hazards and to run a proper risk evaluation, with a particular focus on biological and chemical activities.
