Medicinal Chemistry — Graduate Certificate

This graduate certificate enables students to obtain training and to become credentialed in the field of medicinal chemistry.  This field encompasses the study of drug mechanisms of action and biodisposition (absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination), the design and synthesis of bioactive molecules, the detection and quantification of bioactive molecules, and the chemistry of natural products.  Thus, the knowledge base and credentialing available through this program will enhance the ability of students to obtain employment, particularly, but not exclusively, in the pharmaceutical industry.
