DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACOLOGY
Vision:
-
The Pharmacology Department is committed to education, research and training UG and PG students to acquire an in depth knowledge of the fundamental principles of the subject of Pharmacology.
-
Knowledge for understanding the basics of drug action in disease for better therapeutic outcome.
Mission:
- To enable the students in acquiring the drug knowledge with respect to the disease i.e., molecular targets for drug action and finding targeted drugs with an impact of different treatment modalities on therapeutic outcomes.
- To train the students in therapeutic decision making with respect to the clinical problems in individual problems.
- To acquire basic practical skills for Pharmacological investigations of new drugs in drug discovery development.
- To promote research activities for students and staff.
Objectives:
- To educate the undergraduate and postgraduate students as per the university guidelines.
- To encourage the staff to update the recent drug discovery concepts and engage in research activities.
- To encourage the students to acquire drug knowledge and orient them in the application of acquired knowledge in research activities technically.
- To conduct seminars, guest lectures and to impart the interdisciplinary nature of Pharmacology.
