The Interdepartmental Master Program "Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology" of the Departments of Chemistry and Medicine of the University of Patras, Greece continues the 5th year of Academic operation. The program is a joint collaboration of the two Departments, Chemistry and Medicine of the University of Patras, Greece. The program has been successful so far with research and academic activities in the field of “Medicinal Chemistry” and “Chemical Biology”.
The main research interests of program are: i) the rational design and synthesis of biologically active compounds implicated in several diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, cancer etc; ii) the conformational studies of pharmaceutical compounds and bioinformatics; iii) Structure Activity Relationship Studies (SARs); iv) the development of methodologies for the synthesis and characterization of biologically active compounds; v) the in vitro and in vivo biological assessment; vi) the development of methodologies for analysis (pharmacokinetics, bioavailability) of pharmaceutical compounds; vii) the development of supra-molecules for bio-mimetic systems.
The success of Graduate Program mainly based on the efforts of faculty members of Chemistry and Medicine Departments of the University of Patras, in the field of “Medicinal Chemistry & Chemical Biology”, in collaboration with researchers from other University and Institutes and to constructive cooperation with the Graduate Students.
