Pharmaceutical Chemistry
The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a fundamental department of the B.Pharmacy program that deals with the design, synthesis, analysis, and quality evaluation of drug molecules. The department provides strong foundations in medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, pharmaceutical analysis, and drug discovery principles.
The department focuses on understanding the relationship between chemical structure and biological activity (SAR), drug design, impurity profiling, and analytical techniques used in pharmaceutical quality control. Well-equipped laboratories facilitate practical training in identification, synthesis, purification, and quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical compounds using modern analytical instruments.
The department aims to develop skilled graduates capable of working in pharmaceutical industries, quality control laboratories, research organizations, regulatory agencies, and higher education.
