Medicinal
chemists are engrossed on drug disclosure and development and are concerned
with the isolation of medicinal agent’s present in plants, as well as the
creation of current synthetic drug compounds. Mostly chemists performs as a
team of scientists from different types of fields, including biologists,
toxicologists, pharmacologists, theoretical chemists, microbiologists, and biopharmacists.
Together, this troupe plies various techniques to synthesize and pilot study
about the recently discovered drug products and to develop the bulk of
cost-effective and environmentally friendly means of production.
The Department of Medical Chemistry
at the University of Washington, since its inauguration in 1980, has always
lamented somewhat from this tradition given the concern of many of its faculty
on the research areas of mechanistic drug metabolism,
toxicology and bioanalytical chemistry. In recent years research activities in
the Department have been broadened further by the addition of several faculty
members with expertise in the areas of biological mass spectrometry and
biophysical virology.
