Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery Specialization

This specialization offered by the Center for Drug Discovery (CDD) trains students in the design and synthesis of novel biologically active compounds and in the study of their mechanisms of action using biochemical, biophysical and pharmacological approaches.  Concentrations are available in: synthetic; biochemical/pharmacological; and biophysical medicinal chemistry.  The CDD's excellence in teaching has been recognized by the award of a Training Grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse for predoctoral and postdoctoral training in development of medications.  These will be targeted to treat drug abuse and other indications such as neuropathic pain, obesity and neurodegenerative disorders.
