Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department

Pharmaceutical chemistry

Pharmaceutical (medicinal) chemistry is concerned with the design (drug design) and synthesis of biologically active molecules. The aim is to gain new chemical molecules that could enable the discovery of new pharmaceuticals or optimize already known drug structures, thereby to expand the portfolio of chemical drugs. the term pharmaceutical (medicinal) chemistry appeared first in the literature shortly after WW II. During the development of molecular pharmacology, it was possible to express the biological activity of any chemical compound by means of quantifiable molecular properties (e.g. IC50, EC50, pA2).

VISION

To create competent chemists & analysts through innovative ideas, recent concepts & trends in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry.

MISSION

To inculcate training & research attitude in students & faculty by providing academic ambience in area of synthetic & analytical chemistry.

Departmental Objectives :

To improve the knowledge base required for synthesis, isolation, purification and characterization of various pharmaceuticals.
To improve skills for effective handling of chemicals, glasswares and analytical instruments.
To equip students with the appropriate qualities & skills required to fulfill job responsibilities as chemists in pharmaceutical, chemical and biomedical industries.
To provide enduring atmosphere and encourage students & faculty for research activity.
To train faculty & students in safe handling of chemicals & creating awareness about hazardous effects of chemicals

Pharmacology Department

Pharmacology

Pharmacology is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with the study of drug action, where a drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical and/or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. This department helps to evaluate the drugs by using animal experimentation which may helps to adjust the doses of drugs in humans as well as to know the toxicities of the drugs.

VISION

To become paragon in the discipline of pharmacology by providing updated knowledge and skills to cater needs of upcoming areas.

MISSION

To expand the horizons of knowledge and skills through evidence-based teaching and outstanding scientific research in pharmacology.

Departmental Objectives :

To provide value based education for generating graduates as responsible health care professionals.
To motivate faculty and students by adopting modern tools of teaching and learning.
To generate competent graduates needed for upcoming areas through appropriate training.
To conduct and promote research as a vital element of pharmacology.

Divisions of pharmacology :

Clinical pharmacology
Neuropharmacology
Psychopharmacology
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacogenomics
Pharmacoepidemiology
Toxicology
Theoretical pharmacology
Posology

Pharmacognosy & Phytochemistry Department

Pharmacognosy

Pharmacognosy is the study of medicines derived from natural sources. The study of crude drugs under this department provides the knowledge the natural plant & animal drugs along with active constituents present. The knowledge of pharmacognosy is useful in production of spices, cereals, papers, fabrics, paints & also bakery products. Indian has rich heritage of large number of medicinal plants which have been used for various medicinal purposes from many centuries.

This pharmacognosy study helps to understand identification, extraction, purification, standardization & formulation of drugs & also to find out adulteration in drugs.

VISION

To explore the potential of natural resources as pharmaceuticals , nutraceuticals & cosmeceuticals.

MISSION

To establish a unique platform for developing modern dosage forms by utilizing constituents from natural sources through innovative teaching, research and training.

Departmental Objectives :

To enrich the students by providing knowledge of modern techniques for isolation, screening & utilization of phytochemicals.
To update the skills of students in identifying & characterizing the constituents of natural resources.
To encourage students for discovering different active moieties from natural sources.
To highlight the importance of drugs from natural origin in the treatment of diseases.
