PHARMACOLOGY

DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACOLOGY

Pharmacology is a science that deals with all aspects of drugs and their interaction with living organism. The Department offers broad exposure and training in both basic and clinical research. Pharmacology is often described as a bridge science because it incorporates knowledge and skills from a number of basic science disciplines including physiology, biochemistry and cell and molecular biology. Pharmacologists are able to ‘translate’ such knowledge into the rational development of therapeutics.

Overview

Knowledge of pharmacology serves the aim of basic human health care with the assistance of educational charts, models and training in prescription skills. additionally, the department instructs through problem and computer-assisted learning. The toxicity studies on animals and pharmacological screening of assorted drugs is performed by conducting experiments on animals and bioassays on isolated tissues. During this direction, the departmental goal is to organize exceptional students for productive and successful careers within the pharmaceutical industry, academia, research and public sectors. The department has well-equipped labs for both U.G teaching and research, including an animal simulator lab. The department includes a well-furnished demo room with an audiovisual facility and library.
