Our college has got its full-fledged, Independent Pharmacology department. The department has grown in Men and Material-Facility and infrastructure. Currently, there are five full-time research scholars pursuing their Master of Pharmacy. The department of pharmacology is handling practical and theory of Human Anatomy & Physiology. Pathophysiology & Clinical Biochemistry. Pharmacology and clinical Pharmacy for four year programme, The department is having a spacious, well-furnished and multi compartment animal house which is GLP compliant and registered by CCSEA Government of India. Animal house has been built as per CCSEA guideline for housing small animals such as mice, rats, rabbit and guinea pig etc. for regular teaching to undergraduate, postgraduate studies and perform preclinical research. Institute have Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC) approved by CCSEA (Reg No: 1340/PO/Re/S/10/CCSEA) for conducting animal-based experiments

Academic Programs: The Pharmacology Department offers a range of academic programs designed to meet the diverse needs and career goals of our students:

1. Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm): Our undergraduate program provides students with a solid foundation in pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences, and related disciplines. Through a combination of classroom lectures, laboratory exercises, and hands-on training, students develop the knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level positions in the pharmaceutical industry, community pharmacy, and healthcare settings.
2. Master of Pharmacy (M. Pharm): Our postgraduate program offers advanced training in pharmacology, with opportunities for specialization in areas such as clinical pharmacology, pharmacotherapy, and experimental pharmacology. Students engage in advanced coursework, research projects, and clinical rotations, preparing them for leadership roles in academia, research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies.

Research Areas:

  • Drug Discovery and Development: Investigating new drug targets and developing innovative therapies for a wide range of diseases, from cancer to neurodegenerative disorders.
  • Neuropharmacology: Studying the effects of drugs on the nervous system, from understanding the neurobiology of addiction to developing novel treatments for neurological disorders.
  • Cardiovascular Pharmacology: This area focuses on understanding the effects of drugs on the cardiovascular system, including the heart and blood vessels. Research in cardiovascular pharmacology explores treatments for conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, and arrhythmias.
  • Toxicology: Toxicology is the study of the adverse effects of chemicals, including drugs, on biological systems. Pharmacological toxicology examines the mechanisms of toxicity, risk assessment, and methods for mitigating adverse drug reactions.
  • Ethnopharmacology: Ethnopharmacology investigates the traditional use of medicinal plants and natural products in different cultures. This research area aims to identify bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential and to understand their mechanisms of action.
  • Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics: Pharmacokinetics is the study of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in the body, while pharmacodynamics explores the effects of drugs on biological systems. Research in these areas focuses on understanding drug kinetics and dynamics to optimize dosing regimens and improve therapeutic outcomes.
