Tamara Gund

I did my undergraduate studies at . Rutgers University, my Masters degree at the University of Massachbusetts in Amherst, Mass and my PhD at Princeton University, Princeton, NJ. Following that I did Postdoctoral work at Princeton and Rockefeller Universities. My work experience has included teaching and research at Rutgers University, at NJIT and American Cyanamid Company.

Ph.D.; Princeton University; Physical Organic Chemistry; 1973

M.S.; University of Massachusetts Amherst; Organic/Organometallic Chemistry; 1966

B.A.; Rutgers University-Newark; Chemistry; 1963

My teaching interests include Organic Chemistry, Advanced Organic Chemistry and Computational and Molecular Modeling.

My research interests are in drug design, computational chemistry and Molecular Modeling. I am interested in working with various drug receptor systems such as the sigma receptor, nicotinic.muscarinic, antimalarial and other receptors. I develop pharmacophores, do structure activity correlations and design new ligands which act as agonists or antagonists for the different receptors.
