Pharmacology

Undoubtedly, the significance of Pharmacology within the realm of the pharmacy profession cannot be overstated. Serving as the very backbone of the field, Pharmacology boasts a broad scope that permeates various dimensions. It plays an indispensable role in the pioneering research endeavors aimed at conceiving and cultivating novel molecules derived from both synthetic and natural sources. This research serves as the bedrock for the evolution of pharmaceutical science and the development of groundbreaking medicines that can positively impact human health and well-being.

A pivotal milestone was achieved in August 2009 when the Pharmacology postgraduate program was inaugurated, welcoming its inaugural cohort of ten eager students. Since its inception, the department has been dedicated to nurturing academic excellence and fostering a deep understanding of Pharmacology’s intricate nuances.

Distinguishing itself further, the department takes pride in its approved animal house, a testament to its commitment to ethical research practices. This facility is governed by the Institutional Animal Ethical Committee, a body duly registered under CPCSEA (Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experimental Animals). This meticulous adherence to ethical standards underscores the department’s unwavering dedication to responsible research and a profound respect for the welfare of experimental animals.

Under the aegis of the Pharmacology department, both postgraduate and research students have conducted a diverse array of screening exercises to unravel the pharmacological activities of various samples. Delving into the actions of established pharmaceutical agents, these studies span both isolated systems and in vivo models, contributing to a holistic understanding of pharmacological mechanisms. This comprehensive approach reverberates through the entire academic spectrum, enriching both undergraduate and postgraduate programs, and solidifying the department’s pivotal role in shaping the next generation of adept pharmacologists and researchers.
