What We Do

At the OHSU Medicinal Chemistry Core we help researchers investigate interactions in biological systems. We accomplish this by providing medicinal chemistry and chemical biology expertise and organic and peptide synthesis support to facilitate biologically oriented innovation. Together with the NMR core we provide synthetic services and shared instrumentation resources available to all OHSU researchers. Our team consists of a PhD-level medicinal chemist and two PhD-level chemical biologists who have more than fifty years of combined experience and will work closely with you to support your research.

Acknowledgement and Authorship Policies

Acknowledgment Policy

The use of compounds and data generated in the Medicinal Chemistry Core facility in a grant application, progress report, or publication contains the implicit understanding that the PI or authors will acknowledge the use of the core facility. Since the Medicinal Chemistry Core facility is supported by federal agencies, such acknowledgments are essential for obtaining continuing support. 

Authorship Policy

If core personnel provide significant intellectual input to the results submitted for publication, then it is reasonable and appropriate to include them as co-authors.  Since circumstances vary widely, each case should be considered individually, and the core should be consulted for review prior to publishing.
