Dear Student,

You can choose organic chemistry or medicinal chemistry as your Msc major and, if you're interested, pursue a PhD in medical chemistry if you graduated with a BSc in chemistry. Since organic chemistry is crucial to medicinal chemistry, having strong organic chemistry skills will be beneficial.
Chemical substances that can be utilised as pharmaceutical medications are studied and created by medicinal chemists. To develop and test novel drug products, they collaborate with other scientists and engineers in teams. In order to efficiently create novel pharmaceuticals on a wide scale, they also assist in the development of new and improved production techniques.

Education Qualification:

For entry-level chemist or materials scientist positions, one needs a bachelor's degree in chemistry or a closely related discipline. In addition to a master's or doctoral degree, research positions occasionally need for extensive professional experience. Ph.D.-educated chemists and materials scientists with postdoctoral experience are frequently in charge of basic or applied research teams. There are also combined programmes that give accelerated bachelor's and master's degrees in chemistry.

NIPER is one of the Indian Institutes that offer courses in medicinal chemistry.
