Medicinal Chemistry (MS)
University of Washington · Seattle, United States
About this programme
Research in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry encompasses questions of drug metabolism and disposition, drug design and delivery, and disease mechanism. Broadly speaking, the department seeks to understand how drugs and toxins interact with their targets and with detoxifying enzymes and transporters, as well as to understand the chemical and biochemical bases of cardiovascular, degenerative, developmental, and infectious diseases. Students in the PhD program work closely with faculty and collaborators in academia and the biotech/pharma industry, and are positioned for success in industry, government (EPA, FDA, NIH) and academia.
