• Resumen

  • Medicinal chemistry, a field typically left to the graduate and commercial realm, can be an effective pedagogical tool at an undergraduate institution. The drug-discovery process can be used as a tool to provide a broad range of research experiences that includes the design, synthesis, and testing of novel small molecules as potentially new therapeutic agents. Herein we discuss our scientific and pedagogical efforts and detail some of the available resources that faculty working at primarily undergraduate colleges may find useful in their exploration of a medicinal chemistry-related research program.
