who are able to work in laboratories as well as research institutes.
A graduate:
– has a fundamental knowledge of medicinal chemistry;
– is aware of the synthesis and testing of pharmaceutical and cosmetic substances;
– has knowledge about the fundamental metabolic processes in cells and their relation
to certain diseases which enables a better understanding of the functioning and design
of a drug;
– has a basic education in chemoinformatics, and thus can interpret the results of
simulations in silico and understands the principles of coding molecular structures;
– has general knowledge about planning organic synthesis using retro synthetic analysis.
