Medicinal chemists are indispensable in the preclinical stages of drug development. In this specialisation, you will study all stages of drug development (discovery, design, development, targeted delivery), including the phases of drug activity relating to a drug’s formulation, the analysis of its toxicity, and the understanding of its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. You will learn how to develop a potential drug candidate on a molecular level and get acquainted with the latest trends in the field used to understand and tackle the molecular mechanisms of disease.

The courses in the specialisation are strongly related to the research within three research institutes: The Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM), the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS) and Radboud Institue for Health Sciences (RIHS). Research internships are available in all three institutes, but you can also go abroad, or to a company for one of the internships.

Waarom aan de Radboud University Nijmegen?

At Radboud University, (bio)chemistry and chemical biology research groups, including groups at the Radboud medical centre, work closely together, allowing you to tackle a wide range of exciting problems during your internship. Researchers are approachable and there is a very friendly atmosphere on campus.
  • This is a unique multidisciplinary education programme, where you study the details of drug research and development.
  • You will learn key aspects and receive practical training needed to design and develop molecules as preclinical drug candidates, diagnostic and imaging tools or for target identification and validation.
  • We have close contact with top research groups elsewhere in the world, which makes it possible to do your internship for example in Berlin, at Cambridge, or at Harvard.
  • Teaching takes place in a stimulating and personal setting
  • Almost half of our students take up a PhD position after graduating.
  • All our students find a job within a few months after graduation.
