Course overview
The Aston Neuroscience for Drug Discovery MSc will develop your in-depth understanding of neuroscience and its direct applicatio to pharmacology and drug discovery, guided by Aston's cutting-edge research and expertise in the field.
Neuroscience for Drug Discovery is a specialised area combining neuroscience and pharmacology that focuses on using insights from fundamental neuroscience research to discover and develop novel pharmaceutical interventions for the treatment of neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s and auto-immune diseases.
It represents an interdisciplinary approach that combines the knowledge of how the nervous system functions with treatment targets and drug development strategies. Once potential drug targets are identified, researchers work on identifying compounds or drugs that can modulate these key elements and restore normal function or alleviate symptoms. This includes repurposing of existing approved drugs for use in new disease areas or new patient populations.
