Molecular Targets and Therapeutics Center Institute of Medicinal Chemistry

The Institute for Medicinal Chemistry was established in 2016 in cooperation with the Leibniz Universität Hannover as a branch of the Helmholtz Zentrum München. It has set itself the goal of transferring its own findings from the research of the center from the development of thedisease into the chemical space and thus being able to validate and secure promising new therapy concepts. Due to the physical proximity to clinical centers such as the Hannover Medical School, translational approaches to clinical drug discovery are made possible.
Therefore, the effective synthetic provision of the targeted chemical compounds, as well as their initial characterisation in terms of biological and physicochemical properties, makes up a significant part of the research activities.
