The grades will be deduced from the result in the written evaluation, together with taking into account class participation as well as presentation skills.
The written evaluation is done in the open book mode, i.e. students are allowed to use all the material collected during the class and the studies for the class.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The student should possess basic knowledge in principles of drug discovery. Topics will cover target identification and validation, structural biology, hit identification and validation, lead structure identification and optimization and hereby be able to understand and comprehensively and critically present original papers / projects /ideas to these topics.

Examination topics

All topics covered during the course.
