Why study Medicinal Chemistry BS/MS at UB?
The B.S. in Medicinal Chemistry is designed to provide the student with a basic chemical understanding of life processes and biological control and the laboratory skills necessary for research in medicinal chemistry. Depending on the choice of electives, the B.S. in Medicinal Chemistry can provide an optimum background for employment as a B.S. level medicinal chemist in research institutes, industry and government; for entrance to graduate school in this or related areas; or for entrance to medical school. Another option for students is the five year combined B.S./M.S. program in Medicinal Chemistry. It is designed to produce graduates who are very well qualified as laboratory scientists for the pharmaceutical industry. Demand for lab technicians with strong experimental skills is high and this program is designed to meet this demand. This program makes it possible to obtain an M.S. degree in Medicinal Chemistry in only five years. Students who are interested in this program should have done particularly well in chemistry, have an interest in synthetic organic chemistry and be able to work full time in the lab on their Master’s Thesis project during the summer following the fourth year of study. This program is intensive and designed for above average students who have a clear idea of their career goals.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of all requirements, the student will have knowledge to:
- Demonstrate knowledge in the basic sub-divisions of the science (organic, inorganic, analytical, physical and biological chemistry)
- Use modern instrumentation and classical laboratory techniques
- Design and conduct scientific experiments for the purpose of solving a scientific problem and to record and analyze the results
- Understand the proper procedures for safe use of chemicals and can follow the proper procedures for chemical waste disposal
- Use modern library searching and retrieval methods to obtain information about a topic, chemical, chemical technique, or an issue relating to chemistry
- Identify and solve chemical problems and explore new areas of research
- Understand the chemical basis for the rational design, synthesis, and mechanism of action of drugs, and selective metabolic inhibition
- Find employment in industry or government or be accepted at graduate or professional schools (pharmacy, medicine, etc.)
