Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education offers a number of health sciences courses and workshops.   Please find below information about our Protein Crystallography workshop and our MSc in Experimental Therapeutics.

 

 

Protein Crystallography and Structure Guided Design

28-29 May 2009

The two-day workshop will give an introduction to protein crystallography as well as the use of high-resolution protein structures for rational drug development. The main purpose of the lectures is to give a comprehensive overview describing the theoretical background that covers the entire process from the generation of highly-purified recombinant proteins for crystallization, the structure-determination process using X-ray crystallography, the interpretation of structural information, as well as its use in designing specific inhibitors.

 

The course is led by Stefan Knapp, Professor of Structural Chemistry at the Structural Genomics Consortium in the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford.  Further information is on our website (www.conted.ox.ac.uk/health).

 

Funding for course development is provided by the BBSRC through the Modular Training for Industry Programme.

 

 

MSc in Experimental Therapeutics

Founded by Professor David Kerr CBE – Professor of Clinical Pharmacology and Cancer Therapeutics at Oxford – the two-year part-time modular Master's and one-week intensive courses provide clinicians, and health and pharmaceutical professionals from the UK and overseas with world-class training in the principles underpinning clinical research and the skills to translate these into high-quality clinical and research practice.  The MSc in Experimental Therapeutics is a part-time Programme consisting of eight taught modules and a dissertation.  Some of the modules provide students with the necessary knowledge for qualifications from the Royal Society of Medicine’s Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine.

 

We are now accepting applications (deadline 15 May) for the new academic year.  Please visit our website (www.conted.ox.ac.uk/expther), or contact us on [log in to unmask] for further details.
