Series Details

About

In this series we'll be looking at the structures and properties of molecules, applying our observations to the neurochemical understanding of the brain and its diseases. We will talk about what causes them and what treatments actually do, as well as the steps involved in creating and testing drugs.

**Sessions will be created upon learner request!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

The sessions in this series will be about a variety of topics surrounding neurochemistry, so everyone is free to attend whichever ones they like. If any are ever interconnected or topics become split into multiple sessions, I'll send a message to inform learners ahead of time.

About the Tutor

I’m a senior from Florida, mainly tutoring in Chemistry and SAT prep. I hope to help others develop a love for the process of learning and explore their interests in scientific fields. I'm also happy to offer sessions for learners in other classes I've taken, including economics and psychology. I like reading, writing, art and am very passionate about the sciences.

Session 1

Other Topics

We'll be doing an overview of the drug synthesis process, diving into each phase and seeing how it contributes to the development of treatments. We will look at how testing is done, who it is performed on and discuss the implications of selection criteria for subjects in clinical trials.

Session 3

Other Topics

We will be utilizing a website to create our own molecules. The website will then predict potential interactions between enzymes in the body and your created molecule. If you'd like to challenge yourself, you can try to create a substance that would interact with an enzyme commonly found in the brain.
