VSHS Research Laboratory

Üsküdar University Vocational School of Health Services (VSHS) Research and Application Laboratory was established in 2022 within the VSHS with the support of the Rectorate of Üsküdar University with the aim to enable research such as drug discovery, synthesis of small molecules, development of OTC products, in-silico, molecular docking, and biological activity studies (in vitro).

It aims to cooperate extensively with our university and world scientists and research and development, and it also aims to take part in innovative production and product development projects of the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries as a solution partner. Moreover, the following goals that are aimed as follows: working models in accordance with the vision of domestic and national production, which is among the "Strategic Goals of our country", process management in accordance with the calls of institutions, and organizations such as TÜBİTAK, TÜSEB, and TAGEM.
