The following list provides detailed information on SUMS Ph.D. Programs:
The doctor of philosophy degree in Oral Health Sciences is a program offered at the School of Dentistry.
Medicinal Chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry are disciplines at the intersection of chemistry, especially synthetic organic chemistry, and pharmacology and various other biological specialties, where they are involved with design, chemical synthesis and development for market of pharmaceutical agents, or bio-active molecules (drugs).
Pharmaceutical Biotechnology is providing a detailed insight into the technologies that allow the development and production of biopharmaceuticals that could lead to cures for most major diseases.
Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field, graduates of which will deal with the foundations of medicine, biology, pharmaceutics, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, immunology and toxicology, as well as nanostructures, Nanobiosensors, Nanomachines, Nanoparticles and Nanobiocomposites in designing and production of Nanomedicines and Nanomaterials.
Pharmacognosy is the study of the physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties of drugs, drug substances or potential drugs or drug substances of natural origin as well as the search for new drugs from natural sources.
Toxicology is a branch of biology, chemistry, and pharmacology concerned with the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. It also studies the harmful effects of chemical, biological and physical agents in biological systems that establishes the extent of damage in living organisms. The relationship between dose and its effects on the exposed organism is of high significance in toxicology.
Ph.D. is the highest academic degree in traditional pharmacy. Graduates of this field will be involved in education, research and service areas.
Nutritional science investigates the metabolic and physiological responses of the body to diet. With advances in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, the study of Human nutrition is increasingly concerned with metabolism and metabolic pathways: the sequences of biochemical steps through which substances in living things change from one form to another.
Physical Therapy or physiotherapy (often abbreviated to PT) is a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialty that remediates impairments and promotes mobility, function, and quality of life through examination, diagnosis, prognosis, and physical intervention (therapy using mechanical force and movements).
