Section of Medicinal Chemistry

Section of Medicinal Chemistry teaches and conducts research within two scientific disciplines: medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical analytical chemistry. Medicinal chemistry comprises design and synthesis of bioactive compounds with potential as new drugs, as well as structure-activity studies. Pharmaceutical analytical chemistry comprises qualitative and quantitative analyses of biological compounds based on chromatographic, masspectrometric, and spectroscopic methods.

The research at our section covers design and synthesis of bioactive peptides and peptidomimetics, structure elucidation of bioactive components from the marine environment, development of analytical methods for monitoring drugs, and proteomics. For more detailed information about our research projects, see link
