• CHEM 4250: CRE Medicinal Chemistry

  3.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  Medicinal chemistry is a fast-paced and important field that has direct impacts on overall world health and quality of life. This 3-credit-hour course is designed for students with an interest in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, and medicine. It will provide an in-depth look at how pharmacologically active molecules are designed, how they chemically interact with their targets, and how they work molecularly to treat human diseases. Selected case studies will be used to illustrate the concepts being covered. In line with our university mission, an over-arching theme will be looking at how medicinal chemistry affects our worldwide community with emphasis on patents, drug development costs, risks, and ethics.

• CHEM 4630: Materials Chemistry

  0.00 - 4.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  Materials chemistry is the study of the synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of solid materials. Our technology-driven world is fueled by advances in materials chemistry with examples of application in areas such as nanomaterials, polymers, and energy technology. This survey course will focus on the synthesis of materials through gas, liquid, and solid phase reactions. Crystalline and molecular structure of materials will be related to electronic, optical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Some material characterization techniques including x-ray diffraction and microscopy will be covered. The accompanying lab focuses on synthesis of advanced crystalline and amorphous materials through traditional and new techniques. Analysis with scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, uv/vis spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy is included. Prerequisite:    CHEM 3610
