Medicinal Chemistry is a multidisciplinary domain being offered with an intersection of organic, biological and pharmaceutical sciences. Building on your existing knowledge of these areas, this program will prepare you to design through computational methods, synthesis, isolation, and characterization of biologically/pharmacologically active compounds as a potential new pharmaceutical. Our M.Sc. - Medicinal Chemistry degree course aims to render advanced skills in molecular medicine and recent advances in pharma-technology. With emphasis on research, our university offers the right environment and infrastructure. Our faculty is engaged in computational drug design, identification of new biologically active compounds and natural products with therapeutic value. We blend conventional disciplines to conduct research in computational drug design, organic synthesis, biological evaluation, and assay development. After this program, the students will have the right skills, knowledge and qualifications for a successful career in academia, allied medical field, research and industry.
The objective of M.Sc. - Medicinal Chemistry is to give a comprehensive training to postgraduate students to empower them with the knowledge of discovering, designing new or repurposing therapeutic molecules. It is an opportunity for students after B.Sc. in chemistry, life sciences who want to opt for a career in the Pharma-field.
M.Sc. - Medicinal Chemistry provides; both conventional and innovative approaches to resolve the problems associated with therapeutics. Here, we offer a blend of bioinformatics, computational modelling, organic synthesis, molecular medicine, Omics etc., to understand the advancements in the field of medicine and also cater to the field of personalized medicine.
After this program a number of opportunities would open for these students as they will be ready for a variety of jobs in the Pharma industry.
A Master in Medicinal Chemistry is expected to have an understanding about the use of multidisciplinary approaches to solve any complex problem of drug industry. Mandatory teaching and training activities in this program therefore aim to provide students with integrated knowledge in the basic yet advanced modern and upcoming trends in the Pharma industry. Ultimately; the graduates will be able to develop methods with biotechnological advances and improve conventional technologies or come up with a new strategy.
A large number of job opportunities open up for a Master’s in Medicinal Chemistry. Companies offering Employment include Research facilities of hospitals and pharma industries; like Hindustan Lever Ltd, Biocon India Ltd, Syngene, Hindustan Antibiotics, Dr. Reddy’s, Bharat Biotech, Serum Institute, etc. to name a few. Besides, openings as research assistants, scientists in various institutes, Quality assurance professionals, production managers, data analysts and advisors, regulatory authority etc. in various Govt. and industrial organizations
