Department of Pharmaceutical chemistry uses modern educational instructional techniques to teach the courses which are integral part of pharmacy education. These courses enable the students to understand and correlate the chemistry of drugs with their actions/fate in the body. These courses aim to provide educational experience, skills and in depth integrated knowledge at the interface between chemistry and biology disciplines. Pharmaceutical chemistry courses focus on several aspects of drug design, discovery and development from synthetic and natural sources besides imparting knowledge and understanding of drug stability, formulation into a dosage form, molecular interaction of drug with its receptors, mechanism of action, metabolism of the drug, behavior of drug inside body, etc.
There are two well equipped state of the art laboratories which cater to the needs of the B. Pharmacy students. A separate research lab with essential analytical instruments is available to support the research activities of the faculty and students.
Faculty members in Dept of Pharmaceutical Chemistry are highly qualified, experienced and are committed to delivery of quality education. They are also actively engaged in research and the research findings have been published in the Scopus and WoS indexed journals.
