The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences aims to be recognised nationally and internationally as a leader in pharmaceutical research and education. We promote the discovery, development, and appropriate use of medications for the welfare and the safety of the public.

The range of topics in Pharmaceutical Sciences aims at the identification and the characterisation of both new biologically active natural products and synthetic drugs and at understanding of their interactions with human targets on a molecular level using in silico, in vitro, and in vivo models.

Based on this knowledge, new lead compounds and disease relevant targets are investigated and delivery systems for pharmaceutical active ingredients are developed.

The MolTag consortium consists of pharmacologists, molecular biologists, synthetic chemists, biophysicists and computationally oriented groups. After 12.5 years of providing interdisciplinary research and training, the doctoral program "Ion Channels and Transporters as Molecular Drug Targets" is celebrating its last major event: We are looking forward to a series of lectures by 4 invited international guest scientists; 12 internationally active MolTag alumni will present their research in

talks. Students are very welcome to register for the poster session! We hope for many attendees! See more for program details and registration
