Overview
Pharmaceutical (medicinal) chemistry is concerned with the design (drug design) and synthesis of biologically active molecules. The aim is to identify new chemical molecules that could enable the discovery of new pharmaceuticals or the optimisation of already known drug structures, thereby expanding the portfolio of chemical drugs.
The Pharmaceutical Chemistry department has all kinds of the latest models of extraction and distillation equipment. A broad range of chemicals and solvents is available to conduct academic and research programs. Safety procedures are followed strictly inside the Pharmaceutical Chemistry laboratory. Aprons, masks and goggles are provided to the students to ensure safety.
