Laboratório de Síntese Orgânica Medicinal is coordinated by Professor Vera Lucia Eifler-Lima, master and doctor in Medicinal Pharmaceutical Chemistry from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (master's degree) and École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie - Université de Rennes I/France (doctorate). She's currently leader of the CNPq Consolidated Research Group on Organic Medicinal Synthesis and was responsible for the creation of Laboratório de Síntese Orgânica Medicinal in 1997, since then responsible for the developed library (Lattes).

          The group also has the presence of postdoctoral Gabriela Göethel, working in the research group of Laboratório de Toxicologia (LATOX) and LaSOM. She is a researcher with a PNPD scholarship from CAPES linked to Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciências Farmacêuticas (PPGCF) at UFRGS and an e-learning content student working on the theme of Aesthetic Toxicology and Good Safety Practices in Aesthetics and Cosmetology (Lattes).

          Among the doctoral students, Itamar Luis Gonçalves develops works related to the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with potential pharmacological activity on cell proliferation through the Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciências Farmacêuticas (PPGCF) at UFRGS (Lattes). Gustavo Machado das Neves works at LaSOM with ​​Molecular Modelling aiming at the rational development of drugs through Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciências Farmacêuticas (PPGCF-UFRGS)(Lattes). Luciano Porto Kagami is an Assistance Professional III - Pharmacy Service at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre and a LaSOM researcher, working with Molecular Modelling, he also works as a collaborator at the Free University of Brussels - "Structural Biology Brussels" (Lattes).

          As for the master's students, Leonardo Davi develops works related to the synthesis of heterocyclics with potential antineoplastic activity (Lattes). Guilherme Arraché Gonçalves works with the synthesis of coumarins and derivatives with antineoplastic and antiparasitic potential (Lattes). João Pedro works with Molecular Modelling, searching for potential inhibitors for a specific pharmacological target.
