General Objectives of the Course

The advanced specialization course in Medicinal Chemistry is intended to frame the training of students who have been admitted to the PhD program in Medicinal Chemistry funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), ref. PD / 00147/2013. This PhD program is framed by the Programme Contract and the Cooperation Protocol signed by the FCT, University of Coimbra, Chemistry Centre of Coimbra, Center for Neuroscience and Molecular Biology (CNC), University of Lisbon, Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon University, Institute Medicine Research, Structural Chemistry Research Centre, Institute of Molecular Medicine, Bial SA, Hovione SA and Bluepharma SA. This project provides for the transfer of funding of 100,000 euros from the FCT to the University of Coimbra, payment of 28 12-month research grants and 25 36 months PhD scholarships. The PD Program / 00147/2013 integrates in detailed below doctorates, duly established and accredited in accordance with the laws in force, and the students titled Program by one of these:
