Training in this area will enable you to know all the stages of the process, from discovery to approval for commercialization.
Research Line:
Planning, Research, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Natural Products and Bioactive Molecules
Description: To rationally plan new drug prototype candidates, to associate with classic organic synthesis tools such as bioconversion and molecular modeling to promote chemiodiversity in substrates of natural or synthetic origin. Apply in vitro methodologies to study the metabolism and screening of potential activities or eventual toxicity of the new compounds obtained.
Research Line:
Pharmaceutical, Analytical Development and Biopharmaceutical Evaluation of Pharmaceuticals and Medicines
Description: Develop new products from inputs from the regional flora, implement and validate analytical methodologies for quality control of natural and phytotherapeutic products. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics and therapeutic activity of new drugs and medications.
