The Master's Degree Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences aims to train qualified human resources to work in the pharmaceutical and medicinal sector, able to teach, research and provide services, with multi and interdisciplinary training, directing their performance towards the transformation of reality for the benefit of society. It also aims to produce knowledge and innovation in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences, contributing to national sovereignty with regard to pharmaceuticals and medicines.
The profile of the researcher to be formed by the Master's Degree Program also aims to meet, among other objectives, the fundamental demand concerning the development of the region and Brazil. It aims to produce knowledge based on regional, national and international knowledge, culture and technology with applicability in our reality, meeting the needs of the region, the state and the country, in the area of pharmaceuticals and medicines, whether of synthetic or natural origin.
Areas of Concentration and Lines of Research
Area of concentration
Natural Products and Bioactive Substances
Lines of Research
Line 1: Phytochemistry and Biological Activity
Line 1 includes phytochemical studies of plants, mainly neotropical species, biomonitored, with emphasis on "in vitro" evaluations, such as cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, antioxidant, antitumor and antimicrobial activity. In this line of research, "in vivo" studies are contemplated, such as antinociceptive activities in acute and chronic models, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antiulcer and performance in the CNS aiming at the biological validation of medicinal extracts and the discovery of new drugs and phytopharmaceuticals, effective and safe for the later stage of drug development.
Line 2: Research and Development of Analytical Assays, Supplies and Medicines
Line 2 addresses the development and validation of analytical methods, the development of pharmaceutical ingredients (including excipients of interest for the development of modified release forms and nanoparticulate systems) and drugs of synthetic or natural origin (especially phytopharmaceuticals). It addresses the study of chemical structure-biological activity relationship with the investigation of mechanisms of action, in addition to studies of pre-formulation, biopharmacy and pharmaceutical technology, including phytotherapics.
The two lines interrelate and complement each other, in order to effectively contribute to the production chain of safe and effective drugs and medicines, aiming at expanding access to medicines by the population and contributing to the search for the country's autonomy in the pharmaceutical field.
