Research & Innovation
Research is an unending quest to understand, rediscover, and improve current realities. In the field of Pharmacology, research holds the key to better health and improved quality of life.
At the Faculty of Pharmacy, faculty members are encouraged to take up sponsored research projects to:
- Contribute to nation-building by supporting research programs in the fields of Drug Design, Drug Discovery, Drug Development and Pharmacoeconomics & Health Outcomes Research.
- Build Centres of Excellence to further national and societal interests.
- Inculcate a scientific temper among students.
- Collaborate with other academic institutions and organisations for research purposes.
Some of the Research Themes explored are:
- Extraction, Isolation and Standardization of Phyto-constituents
- Natural Product Pharmacology
- Computational Drug Design and Discovery
- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning based drug discovery
- Design and Synthesis of New Chemical Entities
- Polymer Science
