From 1942 to 1945 all organic chemistry lectures for the pharmacy students were delivered by the prominent Bulgarian scientist Academician Dimitar Ivanov (1894-1975; the inventor of the Ivanov Reagents and Ivanov Reaction) who was then head of the Department of organic chemistry at the University of Sofia. In 1954 the curriculum for students of pharmacy with regard to the teaching in organic chemistry was oriented mainly towards the presentation of biologically active medicinal compounds. The course was then led by lecturers of the newly established Department of Pharmaceutical and Organic Chemistry headed by Prof. Dimitar Dalev. For some time he delivered lectures on both subjects. |

The first assistant professor at the
Department of Organic Chemistry after 1954 was
Damian Danchev
(1921-1995) who was appointed associate professor in 1966 and full
professor of Organic Chemistry in 1975. Until 1986 he was head of the
Department of Pharmaceutical and Organic Chemistry as well as of the
Department of Organic Chemistry which was founded in January, 1982. A
course in chemical-pharmaceutical technology and some of the organic
chemistry lectures were also delivered by Associate Professor Lyuben
Velichkov (1928-1998) until 1989.
From 1986 till 1990 a part of the teaching staff was temporarily involved in a research group for applied organic synthesis. In 1990 Prof. Ivo C. Ivanov (CV) was elected as head of the department. He retired in 2009. He delivered the lectures of organic chemistry (fundamental course). Associate Prof. Ilia Manolov performed the specialised course of Chemical-pharmaceutical technology. The Department of Organic Chemistry was closed down in March, 2010, according to the decision of the Academic Council of the Medical University of Sofia. |
