药物化学哲学博士-合成与药物化学

发现和开发具有生物医学用途的新的天然或合成有机化合物是药物化学研究的关键组成部分。因此，有机合成在任何药物开发中都起着核心作用。在这种情况下，堪萨斯大学药物化学系是开拓性部门之一，致力于有机合成作为其研究活动的核心领域。自1960年代成立以来，该系一直拥有众多教职员工，其经常开拓性的思想和研究活动，包括有机合成和药用化学，已帮助将当代药用化学塑造到目前的状态。我们的部门将相当多的有机合成专业知识与现代药用化学研究的其他互补和协同方面相结合，继续在全球同行中保持领先地位。基于丰富的传统，当今的有机合成密集和
Discovery and development of new natural or synthetic organic compounds of biomedical utility is a critical component of medicinal chemical research. Organic synthesis thus occupies a central role in any pharmaceutical development endeavor. In this context, the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Kansas is among the pioneering departments to have focused on organic synthesis as a core area of its research activity. Since the days of its inception in the 1960s, the department has been blessed with faculty members whose often-trailblazing ideas and research activities, both organic synthetic and medicinal chemical, have helped shape contemporary medicinal chemistry to its present state. Combining the considerable organic synthesis expertise with other complementary and synergistic aspects of modern medicinal chemical research, our department continues to be a leader among its peers worldwide. Building on the rich tradition, organic synthesis intensive and medicinal chemical target-related research activities of the present day faculty include, total synthesis of natural products, asymmetric synthesis, development of new methodologies, studying reaction mechanism, structure-activity relationship (SAR) investigations, creation of new structural scaffolds and synthesis of biomimetic non-natural compounds. Regular publications in top-flight journals, reporting the results of these efforts at national and international conferences and their frequent citation by peers across the scientific community are an apt testament to the timeliness and impact of the above research.
