Medicinal Chemistry PhD Assistantship, Edwardsville IL

Are you interested in discovering new drugs or optimizing existing ones? Then consider medicinal chemistry, a multi-disciplinary field encompassing organic chemistry, deep understanding of the underlying biochemical pathways leading to a disease, computational chemistry, and machine learning toward a more rational approach to drug development. 

A holder of a PhD in medicinal chemistry is highly marketable with opportunities in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, academia, software and/or AI companies, and national labs.

Consider furthering your education at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine's Multidisciplinary Biomedical & Biological Sciences (MBBS) Graduate Program for this concentration:

• Medicinal Chemistry

The MBBS Graduate Program offers financial assistance to graduate students through assistantships that include a stipend and a tuition waiver. 

Research assistants perform data analysis and basic science experiments relevant to their mentor’s research area, such as cell culture, PCR, immunostaining, electrophysiology, etc.  In addition to developing their own project for their thesis or dissertation, research assistants are expected to produce data for their mentor’s grants and publications. Research assistants are also expected to assist with general lab duties such as making buffers, taking care of the animal colony, and cleaning/autoclaving supplies.
