The Degree Course in Molecular Biology, Medicinal Chemistry and Computer Science for
Pharmaceutical Applications is a three-year degree program entirely taught in English.
The objective of the Degree Course is to train qualified figures with a background in
biomolecular, pharmaceutical, and information technology (IT) scientific research that
synergistically integrates
i) a solid set of theoretical skills in basic scientific disciplines;
ii) extensive skills in the biomolecular, medicinal chemistry, technologicalapplicative, and IT fields;
iii) critical scientific assessment, competences, information, and communication
skills
The combination of these skills is aimed at training graduates capable of successfully facing
the challenges posed by the growing needs of the universe of biologically active compounds
(drugs, food supplements, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals) including the contemporary
challenge of understanding how molecular biology, medicinal chemistry and information
technologies are already transforming and will continue to transform the drug discovery and
development process in the near future. Graduates in Molecular Biology, Medicinal
Chemistry and Computer Science for Pharmaceutical Applications will have a solid multi- and
transdisciplinary scientific cultural background and a strong foundation in the three reference
areas (molecular biology, medicinal chemistry, and computer science) that in this educational
process blend in a balanced, harmonious, and synergistic way.
