Pharmaceutical Chemistry & Analysis

Designing tomorrow's medicines and verifying every molecule that reaches a patient.

About the Department

The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry & Analysis is the foundation of drug discovery and quality control at KMCT CPS. Students explore organic, inorganic, and medicinal chemistry alongside modern analytical methods.

From understanding how a drug molecule is designed to verifying its purity using advanced instrumentation, this department combines theoretical depth with practical lab work that prepares students for both pharmaceutical industry roles and research careers.

Key Focus Areas

  • Organic and medicinal chemistry foundations
  • Drug design and structure-activity relationships
  • Instrumental analysis: UV, IR, HPLC, GC, and spectroscopy
  • Quality control and pharmacopoeial standards
  • Pharmaceutical impurity profiling
