Pharmaceutical Sciences
The range of topics in Pharmaceutical Sciences aims at identifying and characterising both new biologically active natural products and synthetic drugs and at understanding their interactions with human targets on a molecular level using in silico, in vitro, and in vivo models. Based on this knowledge, new lead compounds and disease-relevant targets are investigated and delivery systems for pharmaceutical active ingredients are developed.
The Department for Pharmaceutical Sciences unites four divisions:
- Division of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
- Division of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceutics
- Division of Pharmacognosy
- Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology
Different aspects of this range of topics have been defined as key research areas, such as:
- Drug Discovery from Nature
- Computational Life Sciences
- Nutrition-associated Molecular Mechanisms of Ageing
