Four departments, one curriculum.
Each department brings its own faculty, labs and research focus. Use the jump links below to skip to the one you're looking for.
Pharmacology
This department is involved in screening of natural and synthetic drugs for their pharmacological activities using in vitro and in vivo models involving preclinical and toxicological studies. Knowledge on experimental skill is imparted to students through computer aided visuals.
Faculty research interests include CNS pharmacology, cardiovascular pharmacology, inflammation, diabetes models, and pharmacovigilance methodology. Several ongoing projects collaborate with the clinical pharmacy services on the Pharm.D side.
Pharmacognosy
The department imparts profound knowledge of traditional systems of medicines and studies safety, efficacy and biological activity of herbal plants and products. The area of research involves identification and investigation of medicinal plants for their phytochemical, pharmacological and microbiological activities.
The herbal garden on campus is curated and maintained as a teaching resource. Department research targets standardization of polyherbal formulations and the discovery of new lead molecules from regional flora.
Pharmaceutics
It comprises of a well organized research wing which works to understand the safety, efficacy and biological action of different formulations and designing of novel drug delivery systems like sustained, controlled, transdermal, ocular, mucoadhesive and targeted drug delivery systems.
The department runs scale-up and equipment training for B.Pharm students and supports M.Pharm thesis work across formulation engineering, biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics.
Pharmaceutical Chemistry
The department is established in 2006, well equipped and works on the designing and development of new molecules for various diseases of CNS, CVS, Pain, inflammation, cancer, TB etc. using advanced tools, synthetic methodologies and techniques. It is also engaged in research on natural products. The department has experienced faculty and the alumni are 100% placed in various sectors.
Synthesis, characterization and biological screening of new chemical entities is the department's core. Active collaborations with the pharmacology department turn promising synthetic leads into screening candidates without leaving campus.
