Colleges and Universities Offering Master of Science in Cheminformatics and Toxicology in Ireland

Institutions Offering Master of Science in Cheminformatics and Toxicology

•  National University of Ireland, Galway  
  Course Outline:
  The course is delivered over three semesters. In semester 1 students learn the fundamentals of pharmacology, toxicology and are introduced to computational drug-design, programming for biology and statistical computing in R. This forms a foundation for more advanced material explored in Semester 2.
  
  In Semester 2 students consider more advanced concepts in toxicology and investigate controversial areas of toxicology. They also develop a theoretical and a practical understanding of high through put and high content screening technologies that are used to generate large data sets for analysis. The students also learn to apply bioinformatic and cheminformatic tools to such large data sets. This semester equips the students to develop and test a novel hypothesis through independent research that is completed in the third semester.
  
  In the third semester students work independently but with the guidance of an academic or industry-based thesis supervisor on a cheminformatics research project.
  
  The course involves lectures, laboratory-based training, self-directed learning and a three month independent research project. Competence is assessed through a mixture of written examinations, computer-based examinations, course work (including verbal presentations and poster presentations) and a research thesis.
