Research at VCOP.
Drug discovery, formulation science, natural products, clinical and translational research — supported by the SRL (Control Research Lab) and active collaborations.
SRL — Control Research Lab
The research backbone of the college.
The Control Research Lab is the institutional research wing. It provides instrumented access to faculty and research scholars across the four departments and supports both basic and translational pharmaceutical research.
Equipment includes HPLC, UV-Vis and FTIR spectrophotometers, dissolution apparatus, tablet machinery, in-vitro cell-culture facilities, and a CPCSEA-registered animal house. M.Pharm and Ph.D scholars run thesis work here under faculty supervision.
What our research targets.
Formulation science
Novel drug delivery — sustained-release, transdermal, mucoadhesive, ocular and targeted systems.
Natural products
Phytochemistry, ethnobotanical surveys and standardization of herbal and polyherbal formulations.
Clinical & translational
Pharmacovigilance, pharmacoepidemiology, ADR reporting and clinical-pharmacy outcome studies through Pharm.D rotations.
