Teaching
Classroom Teaching Pharmaceutical chemistry at Undergraduate B Pharma level includes:
o Aromatic Chemistry (Pharm Chem 2nd year, 15 Lectures)
o Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry (Pharm Chem 2nd year, 14 Lectures)
o Central Nervous system (CNS) Drugs (Pharm Chem 3rd year, 16)
o Heterocyclic Chemistry (Pharm Chem 3rd year, 8 Lectures)
o Instrumental Analysis (Pharm Chem 3rd year, 24 Lectures)
o Photostability of Drugs (Pharm Chem 4th year, 14 Lectures)
Laboratory Teaching:
Instrumental Analysis (Pharm Chem 3rd year, 8 sessions):
Analysis of organic molecules, with emphasis on modern chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. i.e. GC, HPLC, NMR, IR, UV.
Research Interests
Research is focused in the general area of Bioactive compounds and Medicinal Chemistry.
It mainly covers synthesis of Bioactive products and their Structural Activity Relationship Study (SARS).
