BHS0056 Drug discovery and development.

BHS005-6 Drug discovery and development - University of Bedfordshire

Learning Outcome 1: Demonstrate a critical understanding of drug discovery and development and the various processes that underpin drug design, preclinical, clinical and post- licensing development of drugs.

Learning Outcome 2: Critically analyse and evaluate the experimental data and relevant scientific literature to understand current research advancement in the area of drug discovery and development, present and argument information clearly and effectively in the written form.

Students are expected to submit a report based on practical sessions in which they carried out experiments in
Part 1. Determination of Physiochemical properties of drugs and
Part 2. Determination of enzymatic activity of Glutathione - S - Transferase (GST)

Demonstrate the skills necessary to generate, analyse and present laboratory data obtained from a practical exercise in the area of drug discovery and development Produce a written report in the form of a scientific paper that discusses and provides critical analysis of the results of the practical sessions according to expectations described in the assignment brief.

The report is a combined one and should be written based on the two experiments carried out

1. Determination of Physiochemical properties of drugs &
2. Determination of enzymatic activity of Glutathione - S - Transferase (GST)

Clarity of English language and presentation is essential throughout.

Your report should include following sections for each part of the practical. Introduction (300-500 words)

You should summarise the published background literature relevant to this study. You must explain what your experimental
studies were about, and place them in context of the previously published journal research articles and text books.
