One of the main goals of Pharmaceutical Analysis is to ensure the quality, safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products via theoretical and practical teaching. The department is equipped with cutting-edge equipment and qualified faculty, making it appropriate for teaching and research in the modern day. The department features sophisticated instruments in its well-maintained laboratories and it also has a central instrumentation room with cutting-edge analytical equipment available.
For routine instruction and research, tools such as Gas Chromatography, Automatic Absorption Spectrometer, Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Ultrafast Liquid Chromatography, Fourier Transform IR Spectroscopy, UV Spectrophotometers, Sonicators, Polarimeters, Flame Photometers, Rotary Flash Evaporators, Refractive Index instruments and Statistical Software are used. It involves basic research in identity, purity, content and stability of starting materials, excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Drug design offering a strong CADD environment with advanced software for structure-based design, molecular dynamics, pharmacophore modelling, QSAR and ADME prediction to support UG and research students in discovering new drugs. This facility provides tools to simulate drug-target interactions and design therapeutic candidates, covering the spectrum from target identification to lead optimization.
The Department of Biochemistry is involved in teaching undergraduate students, conducting research and maintaining high standards in diagnostic services. The department offers a curriculum balanced between theoretical learning and training in experimental methods. It has the facility to conduct specialized tests for blood, urine, hormones, tumour markers, vitamins, clinical toxicology and basic metabolic screening in labs that have the latest equipment.
The Central Instrumental Methods of Analysis lab provides advanced facilities for pharmacy students equipped with instruments like HPLC, FT-IR, Gas Chromatography, UV-Vis Spectrophotometers, Atomic Absorption Spectrometer and Fluorescence Spectrometer, enabling practical training in drug analysis, impurity profiling and bio-analytical method development. The lab supports research in areas like drug stability and pharmacokinetic studies.
