The Department of pharmacology at JKKMMRF’s Annai JKK Sampoorani Ammal College Of Pharmacy, Komarapalayam, Namakkal was established in 1989 with Diploma in pharmacy . The Department of Pharmacology was established in 1992 for undergraduate studies. Later, in 2008, the Department incorporated postgraduate course as well. Since then the department has grown by leaps and bounds in all areas who may subsequently go on to exciting research, regulatory and administrative careers in academic, industrial and healthcare provision settings.
In this direction, the department goal is to prepare exceptional students for productive and successful careers in pharmaceutical industry, academia, research and public sectors. Since 2007, The department has animal house approved by CPCSEA (Registration no: 1158/PO/Re/S/07/CPCSEA) for research and conducting experiments for education purpose on Mice, Rats, Guinea Pigs, and Rabbits.
Pharmacology is one of the core subjects of biomedical sciences contributing remarkably to other fields of biomedical sciences. Department offers curricula in four tracks at: Diploma in pharmacy, undergraduate, postgraduate and Ph.D. Adequate facilities are available in the department including animal quarantine to accomplish the objectives of the courses offered.
The Department of Pharmacology, main research areas are In-Vivo, In-Vitro and In-Silico pharmacological methods and actively involved in executing projects related to antiulcer, anthelmintic, arthritis, cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyper-lipidemia, cardiovascular, psychopharmacology, neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer, Parkinson’s disorders, respiratory disease, drug delivery systems, drug interaction studies, toxicological evaluation.
