<br />
==Career==<br />
<br />
Hosmane moved to the United States in the early 1970s to pursue a doctoral degree in [[organic synthesis]] and [[medicinal chemistry]] at the [[University of South Florida]], where he earned [[Master of Science|M.S.]] (1976) and [[Ph.D.]] degrees (1978). After completing his postdoctoral training (1979–82) at the [[University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign]], Hosmane joined [[UMBC]] as an assistant professor in 1982 and was promoted to associate professor with academic tenure in 1986.
