Abstract: Medicinal chemistry is an important leading discipline in the field of pharmacy, with talent cultivation encompassing critical stages in drug discovery, including new drug creation, drug synthesis, structure-activity relationships, and drug metabolism changes in vivo. Given the broad scope and interdisciplinary nature of medicinal chemistry, we compare the different training advantages among comprehensive universities, polytechnic universities and pharmacological institutions from the perspective of “science-education synergy” and “multidisciplinary intersection”. We also explore the training strategies and specific measures for cultivating well-rounded medicinal chemistry postgraduates, focusing on mentorship system, training program design and classroom teaching methods.

Key words: Medicinal chemistry, Postgraduate student, Training model, Science-education synergy, Multidisciplinary intersection
