Our research
At our Department of Medicinal Chemistry, we conduct frontline research on how specific substances can be developed into drugs. Our groups cover the entire chain from preparative medicinal chemistry via drug design to translational imaging.
As part of Sweden's only Faculty of Pharmacy, we are a central link in a unique flow of knowledge. Our achievements are of great benefit to both care and patients. They also consilidate our relevance as an attractive collaboration partner and our advanced position in the major calls.
