Osaka Prefecture University has decided on a curriculum for the minor in Medicinal Chemistry, which will be newly established in April 2020. It will be opened for all university students after enrollment in 4, with the aim of developing human resources who can engage in rapidly growing drug discovery research, especially biopharmacy development.Prior to this, a drug discovery symposium will be held in Tokyo on February 2020.
According to Osaka Prefecture University, the subjects of the sub-major in drug discovery science are mainly in the fields of life and environment science and engineering, with 10 compulsory subjects such as drug discovery science training and biopharmaceutical science, instrument analysis, and structural biology. , Genetic engineering, etc., consisting of 12 credits from elective courses, for a total of 22 credits.
Capacity is 1 people per grade.In addition to inviting active researchers who are active in pharmaceutical companies to give lectures, we also plan to have English classes by foreign lecturers.
In the global pharmaceutical market, the proportion of biopharmacy created by biotechnology is increasing rapidly.Development is expected to continue in the future, such as the birth of epoch-making drugs such as cancer, but development requires technology such as gene recombination and cell culture in addition to knowledge of life science and medicinal chemistry. There are calls from the industry for human resource development.
In addition, Osaka Prefecture University will hold "Drug Discovery Symposium-Unexpected Nen! Prefectural University Drug Discovery!-" At TKP Tokyo Station Nihonbashi Conference Center (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) on February 2.Satoshi Kawakami, Director of the University Collaboration Promotion Office, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Isao Oishi of the Kansai Center, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and Ikuhiko Nakase, Associate Professor, Graduate School of Science, Osaka Prefecture University, and other researchers at Osaka Prefecture University 10 A person reports the research content.
