About Us
Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry was originally established as a part of M S Ramaiah College of Pharmacy.
The department provides outcome-based education and training skills on various aspects of drug design using bioinformatics and computational tools, synthesis by conventional and green chemistry approaches, spectral characterization, and pharmacological evaluation of small molecules. Moreover, students get practical training in handling various analytical instruments including UV-Visible spectrophotometer, FT-IR, Flame photometer, HPLC, HPTLC, and Mass spectrometric systems. Students are being trained in maintaining good laboratory and manufacturing practices, documentation of records according to the industrial requirements.
Special emphasis is on quality control and quality assurance at every stage of drug manufacturing process for maintaining high ethical standards.
Course delivery and teaching style stimulate students to think, understand and apply the theoretical concepts to find an ideal solution for real-time problems related to healthcare.
Regular guest lectures and workshops by eminent industrialists from renowned pharmaceutical companies and research scientists from premier institutes help students to keep abreast of the latest trends and developments. The department encourages collaborative projects with Research Institutes and Pharmaceutical industries for post-graduate students to gain knowledge and efficient training under the direct supervision of highly experienced scientific experts.
Students are encouraged to patent their ideas, publish in various peer-reviewed national and international journals, and participate in conferences and seminars to present their project work.
We encourage students to work as individuals and teams to develop leadership qualities and adhere to timelines. Students are motivated to organize scientific events, which provides an opportunity to network with peers, improve communication skills and enhance managerial skills to graduate as competent professionals.
