Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Action

The key strengths within the Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Action theme are structural and molecular biology, receptor pharmacology and medicinal chemistry associated with drug discovery.  Activity within MCDA is co-ordinated in four expertise driven groups:

• Functional biology and drug action
• Structure based drug design
• Synthetic medicinal chemistry
• Stem cell biology in drug action
