Institute of Pharmacy

Research at the Institute of Pharmacy focuses on various aspects of drug discovery along the key priority areas (drug development for infectious diseases and material/nano chemistry) of both the University and the Department of Chemistry. The Institute of Pharmacy provides a natural link between medical research and molecular sciences.

The course programme of pharmacy that leads to the Staatsexamen (State Exam) degree consists of pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical biology, pharmaceutical technology, pharmacology and clinical pharmacy. Lecturers from pharmacy also teach in BSc and MSc courses of chemistry. Both programmes are closely linked, particularly in regard to lab courses. Chemistry students also regularly work on BSc and MSc projects in reseach groups of the Institute of Pharmacy.

The Institute of Pharmacy is a research center focusing on practical applications. We have a wide range of equipment enabling projects for commercial customers and extensive scientific cooperations with companies, for instance in synthesis, analytics, microbiology or technological fields related to drugs.
