Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
A postgraduate program was opened in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry of Mersin University Faculty of Pharmacy in 2005, affiliated with the Institute of Health Sciences, and Master's degree education started in the Fall Semester of the 2005-2006 Academic Year, and Doctorate degree education started in the Fall Semester of the 2015-1016 Academic Year.
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department has a sufficient infrastructure to conduct scientific studies. There are three research laboratories of 18, 48 and 56 m2.
Theses are carried out under the supervision of two professor doctor lecturers in the postgraduate program of Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department.
Pharmaceutical chemistry provides students with a thorough understanding of how the structural, stereochemical and physical parameters of drugs affect the biological interaction at the molecular level. After completing a Master’s course, students gain broad knowledge and application skills about pharmaceutical chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, spectroscopic and chromatographic analysis. Pharmaceutical chemistry aims to give a critical thinking and evidence-based problem-solving skills to students.
