The Drug Discovery Today article below describes a new way for chemistry undergraduates to learn about drug discovery.
In a few words, third year undergraduates with no prior knowledge in medicinal chemistry were first introduced to medicinal chemistry through workshops and tutorials, and then seeked to improve the profile of a weakly potent, insoluble phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase delta(PI3Kd) inhibitor through compound array design,molecular modelling,screening data analysis and the synthesis of target compounds in the laboratory. A special emphasis was given to Team Building, where teams were assembled using the Belbin Team Role questionnaire, which helps identify preferred ways of working in teams. http://www.belbin.com/rte.asp?id=396
