To provide students with sufficient knowledge of the concepts and methods in chemical biology and combinatorial sciences to enable them to generate, identify and understand entities with biological activity or other specified property. The course is principally aimed at students working with chemistry at the interface to the biological sciences.

The 10-day course will comprise approximately 35 hours of lectures given by researchers active in the field. Lectures will be followed by group discussions.

The first five days (4-8 October) of the course will be held at the Faculty of LIFE Sciences and the last five days (11-15 October) at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

On the final day of the course, participants choose a relevant research-based topic within the scope of the course, and then write a report on this topic (max. 25 pages including references) due on 29 November 2010.

There will be an exam based on the report itself as well as the oral presentation of the report.
