Program Outcome
The general aim of this Master’s Degree is to train professionals in the field of Medicinal Chemistry research. The course provides specialization focused primarily on the acquisition of research skills, linked to learning advanced knowledge and developing a command of the state of the art techniques and abilities, some of which are of a multidisciplinary nature. The aim is to offer specific training which will equip students to enter a professional environment that is undergoing a process of rapid development and to facilitate student participation in advanced research projects that increasingly require the synergic action of different groups from diverse experimental disciplines. Students will be introduced to some of the different areas of research being carried out by the research teams involved in the teaching of the Master’s Degree.
For each area of research, the general objectives are as follows:
- To acquire the advanced skills necessary for experimental laboratory work within the context of Medicinal Chemistry.
- To understand the use and limitations of the most advanced research technology available today.
- To acquire the knowledge and capacity to identify problems, seek practical, creative solutions and apply them to research or professional practice within the context of Medicinal Chemistry.
- To acquire the ability to conduct an advanced research project.
- To develop the ability to communicate and present scientific work, both orally and in writing, clearly and concisely.
- To acquire the skills necessary for lifelong independent and self-directed learning.
- To acquire a solid grounding that will enable students to begin a career in research through studying for a doctorate level degree, or to carry out professional duties in Medicinal Chemistry that do not require a doctorate degree.
Career Opportunities
Focus
Research.
This Master’s Degree focuses primarily on research, providing students with advanced theoretical and experimental training in the area of Medicinal Chemistry, which supports further doctorate studies in this branch of Chemistry.
The contents of this course, together with the wide range of optional subjects offered, complement a predominantly research focus and should serve to facilitate students’ entry into the workforce in this field.
Areas of research include:
- Activation of metals by solvated electrons.
- Allylic organoindium compounds in organic synthesis.
- Functionalized organolithium compounds: applications in organic synthesis.
- Functionalisation of polymeric materials and their use in synthesis on a solid support.
- Preparation and applications of functionalized organometallic compounds from lithiated derivatives.
- Carbometalation reactions and their applications.
- Arene-catalyzed lithiation reactions: mechanisms and applications.
- Enantioselective reactions catalyzed by chiral ligands.
- Asymmetric catalysis using chiral Lewis acid.
- Asymmetric synthesis using chiral phase transfer agents.
- Catalysis using amino acid derivatives
- Solid-state catalysis.
- Palladium catalysts in cross-coupling reactions.
- Guanylation reagents.
- Protective functional group reagents.
- Sulphones in organic synthesis.
- Heterocycle synthesis
- Amino acid derivatives as organocatalysts in asymmetric synthesis.
- asymmetric synthesis of chiral compounds using amino acid and peptide-derived ligands.
