About the Department
The Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department is involved in curriculum in the subjects of Pharmaceutical- Organic, Inorganic, Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis for the undergraduate students of B. Pharm course.
The department is well equipped to introduce these fundamental subjects to the students so that a strong foundation is laid at the very beginning. This foundation serves as the building block for all other subjects in the entire B. Pharm course.
The department is involved in teaching pharmaceutical analysis to the undergraduates. The curriculum includes extensive lectures and laboratory sessions to ensure that students can connect theory to practice and apply their theoretical knowledge gained. The field of pharmaceutical analysis is very dynamic and the curriculum ensures that the students are kept abreast with the latest development in this field. They are taught modern analytical techniques including the application of sophisticated instruments like GC, HPLC, NMR, GC-MS, LC-MS etc. for drugs, pharmaceuticals and others.
The department has successfully organized three webinars on Analytical Instruments workshops as part of pharmaceutical analysis for the students.
The medicinal chemistry laboratory has as main emphasis the development of specific skills and techniques important to the area. Because one must learn a skill by personal experience, most of the work is done individually and not with partners. However, exchange and discussion of experimental results is part of most labs. The laboratory reinforces the lecture by showing the students how the information in the text was obtained.
