Pharmacology
The Department of Pharmacology in the M.Pharmacy program focuses on the study of the biological effects and mechanisms of action of drugs on living systems. The department provides advanced knowledge in experimental pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, toxicology, pharmacovigilance, and preclinical drug evaluation.
Students are trained in animal handling, screening of pharmacological activities, safety assessment, dose optimization, and interpretation of biological data. The department emphasizes research, ethical practices, and regulatory requirements to prepare students for careers in pharmaceutical industries, CROs, clinical research organizations, pharmacovigilance centers, academia, and regulatory agencies.
