The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry was established in 2008 and has since been at the forefront of providing high-quality education in pharmaceutical chemistry. The department is actively involved in research activities, focusing on industrial research, the development of eco-friendly and “green chemistry methodologies,” and fundamental academic research. The department provides excellent infrastructure with sophisticated equipment and well-equipped laboratories, along with a vast collection of relevant books and journals to support student learning and development.
The Pharmaceutical Analysis department, established in 2007, aims to equip students with the knowledge and practical skills necessary for the analysis and quality control of pharmaceuticals. Students gain expertise in a wide array of analytical techniques, including titrimetric, electrochemical spectroscopic, and chromatographic methods.
Together, both departments offer a strong foundation in various branches of chemistry such as Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Natural Product Chemistry, and Analytical Chemistry. They also focus on developing technical competencies through intensive training, ensuring students graduate as highly skilled professionals.
The Pharmaceutical Chemistry & Analysis department has a dedicated and experienced faculty, committed to fostering an interactive learning environment. This ensures students gain the confidence and technical competence required in the field. With over 50 original research articles published in reputed journals, the faculty plays an integral role in the department’s research initiatives.
State-of-the-art facilities, including HPTLC, HPLC, FTIR, UV spectrophotometers, and many more, are available for students to gain hands-on experience. Research in the department is focused on medicinal chemistry, particularly in areas like cancer, diabetes, inflammation, and microbial disease chemotherapy. The department’s research strategies combine traditional methods and cutting-edge technologies such as high throughput screening and molecular modeling to optimize lead molecules for pharmacological efficacy.
The department also aims to achieve global standards by developing a “Drug Design and Synthesis Research Laboratory,” with accreditation from government research organizations, pharmaceutical industries, and international standard bodies.
In Pharmaceutical Analysis, the department focuses on developing analytical methods that merge novel approaches with traditional ones. Research includes identity, purity, content, and stability testing of raw materials and medicinal substances, helping students gain expertise in analytical sciences for both qualitative and quantitative estimation of natural, synthetic substances, and biological samples.
Both departments are recognized for their commitment to education, research, and preparing students for a successful career in the pharmaceutical industries
