Comments about BA Biological & Medicinal Chemistry - At the institution - London - Greater London

• Objectives
  One of the most significant contributions of chemistry to our well-being has been through our understanding of the chemistry of natural systems, and our ability to modify them to our advantage. As understanding of biological processes at the molecular level increases, chemists are needed to design molecules to accomplish specific diagnostic and curative tasks within living organisms.
