Program goals: | The goal of the educational program is to prepare a specialist with relevant advanced skills that are essential in the areas of quality control, drug discovery, pharmaceutical chemistry, who will possess a deep and system knowledge of principles and theories of Chemistry and practical skills of synthesizing organic compounds. Upon completing the program, the graduates will be able to be employed at different medicine companies and other private and state organizations at the positions of drug producers, quality controllers. Also, to establish and manage their own companies effectively. |
Methods for Attaining Learning Outcomes: | Lecture-seminar; |
Learning outcomes: | Knowledge and understanding Program graduate will have: Extensive knowledge of Chemistry, and Pharmacy among the students and equip the students with excellence in medical chemistry and development, thus enabling the student to pursue a career in the Medical Industry/Research Institute. · Systemic knowledge of drugs covered in Pharmaceutical Chemistry I include 1) nomenclature of polycyclic and heterocyclic rings, 2) cholinergic & adrenergic drugs, 3) cardiovascular drugs, 4) antithrombotics & antihistamines, and 5) CNS stimulants. In this class, students are expected to relate the physico-chemical properties, pharmacological activities, mechanisms of action, ADME (adsorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion), and pharmacokinetic properties of drugs to their chemical structure Skills Program graduate will be able to: · Investigate the binding modes of the molecules by molecular docking. · Do Data Analysis and statistics used in drug discovery. · Work with analytical techniques like UV, IR, HPLC, NMR, Mass spectroscopy is an integral part of the curriculum. · Execute a short research project incorporating techniques of synthetic, characterization, identification and analysis of pharmaceuticals entity. · Identify and critically analyze emerging theories, information, and technologies that may impact patient-centered and population based care. Design and implement research projects with collaboration of his supervisor Responsibility and autonomy · Master ethical attitude towards social, academic or national factors and values; · Maintain the balance of interests of the parties; · Make independent consistent and multilateral assessment and self-assessment of their own learning process; · Continue the learning process independently through the received knowledge; · Realize the characteristics of the learning process and plan strategically; · Develop technological innovations in the professional field and renew their knowledge / skills constantly; Determine the need for further study (PhD) level for continuous professional development |
