Medicinal Chemistry

Facultatea

Descriere

The Medicinal Chemistry program is focused on the discovery, development, identification and interpretation of the action of biologically active compounds at the molecular level. Thus:

  • Knowledge about chemical structure-pharmacological activity relations, chemical retrosynthesis concepts and mastery of computational chemistry techniques are what makes the medicinal chemist an important partner to the pharmacist/doctor when it comes to pharmaceutical research and innovation.
  • By mastering the main analytical methods, the medicinal chemistry specialist will be able to elucidate, control and confirm the identity of synthesized compounds, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, will have the complex training in biology and chemistry required to perform clinical and pharmaceutical laboratory analyses.
  • Management, marketing and administration of analytical laboratories complete the range of skills acquired by graduates of this program.

Detalii suplimentare

  • The ability to operate with concepts regarding the structure and reactivity of chemical, biochemical compounds and of parameters monitored in clinical tests and analyses, laboratory analyses, of compounds used in therapy;
  • The ability to use equipment specific to clinical/medical physicochemical analysis laboratories, the ability to perform and apply methods of separation and analysis in a laboratory;
  • The structural characterization of chemical compounds, the knowledge of analytical methods for their complex characterization in various matrices (mixtures of substances, biological fluids, tissues, natural extracts, intermediates, finished products);
  • The monitorization, adaptation and controlling processes regarding quality assurance in pharmaceutical, clinical and toxicological laboratories;
  • The management, marketing and administration of analytical laboratories;
  • The ability to provide consultancy and expertise in the field of synthesis and characterization of chemical compounds.

Graduates can continue their studies with a Master’s program, followed by a doctoral program.
