Program Overview

Doctoral training in Organic Chemistry is multidisciplinary. It offers doctoral students in-depth studies in chemistry used in industry and/or research laboratories, and provides skills in the mastery of laboratory techniques related to the specialty. It enables PhD students to deepen their training in organic chemistry (biomolecules, polymers, etc.) from both a theoretical and practical standpoint, through research, synthesis and analysis of organic molecules and molecules of therapeutic interest, as well as synthesis and characterization of the physico-chemical properties of polymeric materials. This course is of vital importance for the promotion and development of this field at Batna 1 University.


The specialties offered as part of this doctoral program - Chemistry of Natural Products, Organic Chemistry - and the related research themes, which will be supported by two research laboratories, “Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry” (LCCE) and “Chemistry of Materials and Living Systems: Activity & Reactivity” (LCMVAR): Activity & Reactivity” (LCMVAR), which are fully integrated into the research axes of the aforementioned laboratories and are sure to provide a consequent springboard for in-depth, high-quality training, through research and for research, paving the way for promising careers for doctoral students in the fields of academic and applied research, university teaching, and the socio-economic and industrial world.

1. It aims to promote the chemical sciences in the fields of organic chemistry and the valorization of plant resources growing in the Aurès and northern Sahara regions through the discovery of new biomolecules and active ingredients,


2. The PhD student, who will have acquired knowledge in organic chemistry and phytochemistry, quantum and computational chemistry, environmental sciences, will also be able to link experimental results to other theoretical calculations such as DFT quantum calculations, TDDFT, molecular docking and in silico studies and molecular dynamics.


3. In addition, these research themes could lead to the establishment of pharmacological and therapeutic interests in secondary metabolites isolated from medicinal plants used in local and regional traditional medicine and identified by chromatographic and spectroscopic means of analysis. This research will be pursued by evaluating their biological activities in silico, in vitro and in vivo, namely: antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, cytoyoxic.....etc.
