The aim of the course is to familiarize students (a) with some of the most important categories of organic biomolecules (amino acids, peptides, steroids) and (b) with the main principles of natural product chemistry (categories of natural products, isolation methods, study and characterization of structure and applications in pharmaceutics, cosmetics, food, dyes, antioxidants, etc.)

These selected topics are the state of the art of modern research and applications of Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry and Natural Product Chemistry. They are adapted to the directions and studies of the Chemical Engineer and can lay the foundations for the student’s involvement with relevant cutting-edge research areas at postgraduate or doctoral level.
