Each course offering will focus on the literature of a current area of Chemical Biology research. Students will be expected to read assigned papers critically before class and to present and discuss papers in class. Students will also be expected to write and present a brief research proposal based upon their reading. Topics in synthetic chemistry, NMR Practical, and Mass Spectroscopy will be covered in separate course offerings. (PHARM CHEM) |
