About the Department
The Department of Pharmacology focuses on improving understanding of how drugs work in biological systems and their key role in preventing and treating diseases. As a core part of the preclinical sciences, the department provides top-notch education to B.Pharm, D.Pharm, and Pharm.D students, ensuring they build a solid foundation in both basic and clinical pharmacology.
Our well-rounded curriculum combines theory with practical experience, covering topics like general pharmacology, systemic pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, toxicology, monitoring adverse drug reactions, rational prescribing, and clinical trials. We also encourage students to think critically and develop a research-oriented approach by actively participating in scientific discussions and research projects.
The department has modern laboratories equipped with the latest instruments and computer-assisted learning tools. These facilities allow students to ethically conduct experiments using advanced simulations, along with hands-on training in experimental pharmacology.
With guidance from experienced faculty, students stay informed about the latest developments in pharmacological sciences. The department prepares graduates for various career paths in clinical research, pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs, medical writing, academia, and the pharmaceutical industry, enabling them to make meaningful contributions to healthcare and drug development.
