About the Program
The Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology (MCMP) in the College of Pharmacy at Purdue University is one of the top-rated programs in the country, combining both medicinal chemistry and molecular pharmacology integrated within a single academic unit. This arrangement promotes a seamless dialogue between chemical and biological approaches, which is essential for translating basic discoveries into novel therapeutics.
The scientific approaches taken by students and faculty in MCMP include medicinal chemistry and chemical biology, cell and molecular biology, molecular pharmacology, biophysical and computational chemistry, systems biology, functional and pharmacogenomics. Research topics covered in MCMP can be broadly grouped in three general areas: cancer biology, neuroscience, and infectious diseases. The Department is fully committed to excellence and innovation in the education of future pharmacists and in training the next generation of pharmaceutical scientists. The Department strives to provide an inclusive and supportive environment, filled with energetic students, fellows, faculty, and staff.
