Course Description
The course introduces computer application to pharmacy, including expert and knowledge-based systems, artificial intelligence, online pharmacy and medical databases, molecular modeling and computer-aided drug design, computational pharmaceutics and bioinformatics. In computer laboratory, students will acquire initial skills of molecular modeling. They will also practice searching online databases. The course will build a bridge between computer science and pharmacy for students.
Pre-requisite: None
