Third-Year student Tamara Dzekic prepares for a titration experiment in the PHC340 laboratory. Titration — a technique used to measure the proportions of chemicals in a solution — plays a key role in the development of new medicines.

Third-year students in the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Program practice modern pharmaceutical development techniques where they learn the scientific basis and the practical techniques used in the development of new medicines.

Other third year courses in the program include:

• PHC300Y1 Molecular Pharmacology: The molecular basis for the action of drugs is presented based upon the physicochemical nature of the drug and its target.
• PHC320H1 Medicinal Chemistry: Modern discovery and synthesis of antibiotics, antineoplastics, antiviral and other therapeutic agents.
• PHC330Y1 Pharmaceutics: The study of the science and technology underlying drug delivery are covered. The properties of different dosage forms and delivery routes are studied with an emphasis on oral and parenteral routes.
