Welcome
to the Homepage of Department of Pharmaceutical
Chemistry, Hacettepe University Faculty of Pharmacy
Pharmaceutical chemistry
is a multifaceted scientific dicipline that is dedicated
to the improvement of human health through research
leading to new concepts for the design and development
of safe and effective therapeutic, diagnostic and
environmental agents involving aspects of biological and pharmaceutical
sciences. As defined, it is concerned with the design,
preparation and identification of biologically active
compounds, the study of their metabolism, the
interpretation of their mode of action at the molecular
level and the construction of structure activity
relationships.
Our outstanding department has the best to offer in
research opportunities and graduate education, with
fourteen faculty, and twelve graduate students and
post-doctoral research associates. Research in this
department is inspired by the development of molecular
approaches for design and synthesis of bio-active
molecules for study and modulation of disease related
processes on a molecular level. Our faculty are actively
engaged in research for the discovery and development of
new drugs and are exploiting new biological targets for
the treatment of CNS and cardiovascular disorders, and
infectious diseases. We blend conventional disciplines
to allow for specialized research to be conducted in
drug design, synthesis, analysis, and biological
evaluation.
The goal of graduate
program training in Pharmaceutical Chemistry is to
prepare highly trained, versatile individuals for a
career in the pharmaceutical sciences and we are proud
of our record of outstanding graduate students who now
enjoy fruitful careers in academia, the pharmaceutical
industries as well as with government and other
regulatory agencies.
This site will give you a
comprehensive introduction to the group: the research
that is being performed; the research topics; the group
members and their projects; the labs and equipment.
