Course Description
Synthetic organic chemistry is one of the fundamental research fields in natural sciences, which focuses on studying the activation, cleavage, and reorganization of chemical bonds. Its goal is to discover and design more efficient organic reactions, synthetic concepts and strategies, which can be applied to the discovery and preparation of pharmaceutical molecules and functional organic molecules. In this module, the lecturers will introduce the fundamental knowledge of synthetic organic chemistry, and present cutting-edge advancements in this field based on their own research. The course will cover, but are not limited to topics of total synthesis of natural products, asymmetric catalysis, and radical chemistry.
Chemical biology is an interdisciplinary field bridging chemistry and biology, which employs chemical approaches to investigate living systems and elucidate the molecular mechanisms of biological processes. By integrating synthetic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and molecular biology techniques, it designs small-molecule probes or tools to modulate and analyze functions of biomacromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. This discipline plays a pivotal role in deciphering disease mechanisms and facilitating drug discovery. In this module, the lecturers will introduce the fundamental knowledge of chemical biology, and present cutting-edge advancements in this field based on their own research. The course will cover, but are not limited to topics of nucleic acid chemistry, biorthogonal reactions, computational mass spectrometry, ADCs (antibody-drug conjugates), targeted protein modifications.
