Enrollment in the PhD program is possible for students who hold degrees in natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology) and in the field of biomedicine and health (all fields and branches). The program\u2019s goals are being pursued with the involvement of distinguished scientists, teachers, and mentors from the Department of Biotechnology, the \u201cRu\u0111er Bo\u0161kovi\u0107\u201d Institute, and the scientific research institution \u201cSelvita\u201d who have signed a bilateral cooperation agreement. Each of these institutions enhance the quality of the program by enabling students to use specialized laboratories and the state-of-the-art equipment, resulting in a collaborative approach to teaching and encouraging innovation and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Medicinal Chemistry program consists of a teaching part organized into mandatory and elective modules and experimental scientific work in the laboratory. The interdisciplinary nature of the PhD program is ensured through a wide range of graduate education of enrolled students, the qualifications and expertise of teachers and mentors, the diversity of scientific research projects, and the offered elective courses. Enrolled students thereby acquire specific knowledge and skills, and upon completion of the program, are trained to: ask relevant scientific questions, apply the scientific method to answer those questions, independently write and publish scientific articles, present the results of their research, write project proposals, manage scientific projects, and organize the work of a research group.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle wp-block-ub-content-toggle-block\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-block-660a05c1-dd7d-4655-ad46-3d837a1632ea\" data-mobilecollapse=\"true\" data-desktopcollapse=\"true\" data-preventcollapse=\"false\" data-showonlyone=\"false\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #f1f1f1;\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-block-\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color: #f1f1f1;\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-0-660a05c1-dd7d-4655-ad46-3d837a1632ea\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-660a05c1-dd7d-4655-ad46-3d837a1632ea\" style=\"color: #000000;
