Overview
About the programme
Medicinal Chemistry is a highly interdisciplinary field of research that focuses on the discovery, characterization and development of bioactive tool compounds and drugs. In recent years, the target landscape as well as the types of drug molecules (“drug modalities”) and the methods employed in Medicinal Chemistry and drug research have significantly changed.
Major research areas in this in this Tools and Drugs of the Future - Innovative Methods and New Modalities in Medicinal Chemistry programme at the University of Bonn include:
- targeted protein degraders (PROTACs)
- macrocyclic drugs
- biopolymers as tools and drugs
- drug conjugates
The research projects are supported by jointly used technology platforms: the proprietary Pharma-Zentrum Bonn compound library, the Center of Aptamer Research and Development CARD, a structural biology platform, and a platform of advanced instruments in medicinal chemistry.
