Overview
The University of Kentucky Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Center at the College of Pharmacy (UK PharmNMR Center) is a multiuser facility located at the basement of the College of Pharmacy building (Room B003). The mission of the UK PharmNMR Center is (i) to enhance the research infrastructure available to students, postdoctoral fellows, scientists, faculty at UK, as well as industry and academic partners outside of UK, and (ii) to provide an environment for a superior education and research that nurtures and sustains a broad community of researchers.
In order to accomplish our research goals, the UK PharmNMR Center is equipped with MR400, VNMRS500, and Bruker 600 (AV4 NEO) NMR spectrometers, offers training on NMR data acquisition, processing, analyses, software, and assistance in designing experiments. Basic and advanced training is given to help users become proficient in the use of NMR spectrometers. Note: The Bruker 600 AV4 NEO instrument was installed in April 2021.
We strive help to the College of Pharmacy and the UK community realize the power of NMR and to stay tuned with the most recent experimental approaches to cater the needs of researchers.
A graduate-level academic course in NMR of small and biological molecules is offered yearly in the Spring semester. The course is taught by the PharmNMR Center Director, Dr. Vivek Subramanian and comprises theoretical and hands-on learning.
Course: “Application of NMR and Other Spectroscopic Methods in Molecular Structure Determination” – PHS 760 (Dr. Vivek Subramanian)”
