Fields of Interest: Combinatorial chemistry and drug design.
Instruments in the lab: Hot plates with magnetic stirrer, vacuum pump, UV lamb, Rotary evaporator.
Vision:
Our vision is to use the novel methodology and the programs for drug design to prepare new compounds and test their biological activity. This vision is predicated on a high quality of research knowledge and developed practical skills, beside update literature review.
It is our aim to perform high-rated scientific researches, competing with international publications and to develop high-quality, professional, challenging, enthusiastic and innovative researchers with good thinking, problem-solving, and team-working abilities. Also we aim to make good training for postgraduate students to be familiar with the practical research work, good dealing with the instruments, drug design programs and interpretation of the newly formed compounds so they can be able to joint any research team at any place.
Mission:
The mission of the research labs is to design and synthesize new potential drug molecules belonging, chemically to a wide variety of carbocyclic and heterocyclic skeletons and biologically, to a wide variety of pharmacological classes.
Our mission also is to accept the postgraduate students who are interesting in new drug synthesis and drug design for master and doctoral degrees. In addition to that we aimed to be in connection with other universities through the shared research projects and interchange of the research experiences. Moreover we aimed to have a complete updated knowledge about chemical research and drug design to be available for postgraduate students and anyone interested in new drug synthesis.
Objectives:
The objectives of the research labs are as follows:
-
To train postgraduate students who will acquire scientific and technical skills in order to utilize existing technologies and adopt and developed new ones.
-
To provide postgraduate students with thorough understanding of chemical knowledge which emphasizes practical skills and a wide range of transferable skills applicable in chemical research of drug design and synthesis of the new drugs and testing their biological activity.
-
To engage in research activities that will uplift the standard of the scientific and technological growth of the country.
-
To make research projects to be in contact with the society to solve medical problems.
-
To be in sharing with the chemist researchers to develop the research work and updating our research programs.
-
These labs will be the starting point for the preparation of pharmaceutical active substances locally.
