Welcome to the website of the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. This website will provide you detailed information on our graduate program, the research interests and achievements of our faculty and students, and many other interesting facts about the Department, for example current events such as seminars and conferences. The collaborative research environment within the Department and with other Departments of the University will expose students to a wide array of modern research in the pharmaceutical sciences, invaluable for a successful career in the chosen field. I hope you will find the information on this website useful and contact us if you have further questions about the Department.
