Pharmaceutics is the discipline of pharmacy that deals with all facets of the process of
turning a new chemical entity (NCE) into a safe and effective medication. Pharmaceutics is
the science of dosage form design. Pharmaceutics deals with the formulation of a pure drug
substance into a dosage form.
Pharmaceutics is a core part of pharmacy course and is related to the Manufacturing,
formulation and dispending of dosage forms or pharmaceutical products. It needs a complete
understanding of Physical chemistry, Microbiology, Drug regulatory affairs,
Biopharmaceutics, chemistry and analytical chemistry.
Pharmaceutics is the core of
pharmacy course which provides the knowledge and practice of manufacturing, storage,
preservation, utilization and pharmacokinetics of drug products. It includes the study of
advanced drug delivery systems, nanotechnology based delivery systems and biotechnology
based drug delivery systems also.
The department of Pharmaceutics is involved in
imparting knowledge in the various fields of advanced pharmaceutics and novel drug delivery
systems. The department is well equipped with post graduate research laboratories and an
undergraduate laboratory including a well equipped industrial pharmacy laboratory (Machine
room) having all modern equipments essential for carrying our regular as well as research
activities in pharmaceutics.
The department of pharmaceutical chemistry is involved in taking lectures in the subjects of
general chemistry, organic chemistry, pharmaceutical / medicinal chemistry and
pharmaceutical analysis for the undergraduate students in the two year D. Pharm course.
The department is involved in teaching pharmaceutical analysis to the undergraduates. The
curriculum includes extensive lectures and laboratory sessions to ensure that students can
connect theory to practice and apply their theoretical knowledge gained. The field of
pharmaceutical analysis is very dynamic and the curriculum ensures that the students are
kept abreast with the latest development in this field. They are taught classical and modern
analytical techniques including the application of sophisticated instruments like GC, HPLC,
NMR, GC-MS, LC-MS etc. for drugs, pharmaceuticals and others.
The faculty members of this department are deep-rooted in synthetic, analytical, material
chemistry, computational and biochemistry. The department is flourished from this base and
currently represents world-class knowledge in structure prediction, analysis and
interpretation, synthetic and chemical biology.
Pharmacology as a science is a growing area of pharmaceutical discipline. Scientific
communities have witnessed the success of pharmacologically derived therapies in combating
the devastating diseases of mankind. The pharmacological research has provided the
miraculous cure for the variety of clinical conditions and improved the quality of human
life. Therefore, the persons qualified in pharmacology are needed to maintain and advance
the pharmaceutical education and research. The department of pharmacology strives to combine
the biological, pharmaceutical and medical disciplines to achieve the research and education
goal that is hard to accomplish independently
The Department of pharmacology is involved in research and academic activities. The subjects
in Pharmacology introduce students to the unified study of the interaction of chemical
agents and living matter. The emphasis is placed on the principles of drug action and on the
reactions of living processes to drugs. Toxicology, a division of Pharmacology, is concerned
with the adverse effects on life of therapeutic drugs and other chemicals. Toxicology is of
increasing relevance to modern society.
The Department of Pharmacognosy carries out research in pharmaceutical sciences focused on
natural products from medicinal plants and microorganisms. Major tasks are the discovery of
new biologically active compounds from natural sources and the characterization of their
molecular mode of action contributing to a better understanding of the interaction of
natural products and complex cellular systems.
The department is engaged in undergraduate teaching and has a well equipped laboratory and
medicinal garden. The garden set up in 2005, is well maintained with the help of a
horticulturist. Presently the garden houses around 40 well labeled plants that have value in
the field of medicine and cosmetics.
Regulatory affairs in pharmaceuticals are like vehicle inspectors in the automotive industry.
They assess and perform quality checks to ensure that the medicinal drugs, veterinary drugs,
and nutritional supplements rolled out by the pharmaceutical industry are safe and effective
for the consumers to use. In other words, regulatory affairs are in place to protect public
health by evaluating the processes of drug discovery, production, and promotion of
pharmaceutical products.
Regulatory affairs in the pharmaceutical industry comprise of a variety of functions. One of
these functions includes staying abreast of the changes in the legislation of pharmaceutical
drug research, manufacture, and marketing. This is a critical task as keeping updated on the
rules and regulations of the pharmaceutical industry will govern the manufacturing and
marketing practices of the pharmaceutical companies.
The importance of biotechnology and biotechnology-based methods in medical therapies and
diagnostics as well as in the discovery, development, and manufacture of pharmaceuticals is
undeniable. Moreover, biotechnologically manufactured pharmaceuticals form a significant
amount of the total pharmaceutical market at the moment. So, the School of Pharmacy, as the
pioneer center in establishing the Department of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, welcomes
talented and self-motivated individuals who are interested in this field.
Pharmaceutical biotechnology is a new and upcoming field which includes the principles of
biotechnology that are applied to the development of drugs. A plethora of therapeutic drugs
in the current market are bioformulations, such as antibodies, nucleic acid products and
vaccines. Such bioformulations are developed via several stages that include: understanding
the principles underlying health and disease, the fundamental molecular mechanisms governing
the function of related biomolecules, synthesis and purification of the molecules,
determining the product shelf life, stability, toxicity and immunogenicity, drug delivery
systems, patenting and clinical trials.
Pharmacy Practice is a dynamic and innovative department with the main objective, to provide
the student with a platform of knowledge and experience, so that they are confident to
support patients in their therapeutic use and to make clinical decisions for achieving
definite patient outcomes.
The department of Pharmacy Practice caters to the needs of the clinicians and patients by
undertaking services such as medication therapy management, patient counselling, drug
information services, medication reconciliation, pharmacovigilance, periodic safety update
report (PSUR), Clinical Research, health screening program, community outreach program and
continuing Pharmacy education program. The expanding roles of the department include the
application of evidence-based medicine towards patient safety, pharmaceutical care,
pharmacogenomics, translational research and Clinical Research in disease management.
