“Our Department is committed to providing a thorough understanding of those factors that influence drug design to both pharmacy and non-pharmacy majors at Rutgers. The Graduate Program in Medicinal Chemistry is dedicated to developing skilled professionals capable of capitalizing on scientific advances as they emerge. The twenty-first century has begun with the mapping of the human genome. This opens unparalleled opportunities for the development of novel drugs with ever increasing selectivity and efficacy. Medicinal Chemistry stands out as a discipline exquisitely poised to take advantage of this major scientific advance.”
