Research

The Department of Medicinal Chemistry has excellent facilities for research in these major areas of medicinal chemistry. Faculty have been highly successful in attracting extramural research support for the past several years.

Drug discovery and development starting points begin with infectious diseases, cancer and pain and drug abuse/addiction
