Department of Pharmacology

The pharmacology department lays strong emphasis on research while imparting education in pharmacology, toxicology & other related subjects. The primary objective of Pharmacology is to invest the fundamental aspects of molecular bio-regulatory mechanism of the cell and understand how drugs act in order to develop new drugs for treatment of diseases/toxicology examines toxicity and adverse effects of developed drugs, mechanisms of chemical agents and how they produce mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity and neurological disorders.

Studies may involve gaining knowledge of the mechanism of drug action, drug toxicity, the use of drugs as tools to delineate biological processes during health and disease, identification and validate of new cellular targets for drug action, and the design and development of new drugs.

Because of its scope, pharmacology is an inter-disciplinary science employing experimental approaches from many other scientific disciplines.

The department has two separate laboratories:

Anatomy lab I:

It is established to understand the Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology of diseased state with the help of charts and models including human skeleton and other types of apparatus.

Pharmacology lab II:

It consists of equipment to investigate the activity of various drug samples, such as Digital Balance, Rota Rod, Electro-convulsiometer, Histamine chamber and Actophotometer.

Training in Pharmacology Department

The department imparts training in following areas:

  • Dynamics of drugs affecting major organ systems
  • Advances in molecular pharmacology and chemotherapy
  • Applied and clinical pharmacology
  • Pre-clinical drug discovery and analytical techniques

Department of Pharmacognosy

Pharmacognosy is a specific discipline that deals with the rapid developments in the knowledge and utilization of medicinal substances of biological origin (plant, microorganism and animal products) used for human and veterinary purposes. This subject provides information about the principles and procedures used in the identification, authentic extract by chromatography techniques, purification and development of herbal formulations and assay methods for the isolated constituents.

WHO has estimated that majority of all the global inhabitants depend on curative natural systems of medicine for their primary health needs and these systems are largely of traditional origin. The department of Pharmacognosy focuses on research based on evaluation of medicinal plants including isolation, purification, identification and structural elucidation of bioactive molecules and development & standardization of herbal formulations.

Lab & Machines

The Pharmacognosy Laboratory is equipped with high-resolution microscopes like Projectin microscope and digital microscope. Such microscopes help to raise quality of understanding histological studies of plant. The laboratory is enriched with following equipments:

  • HPTLC
  • UV Chamber
  • UV Spectrophotometer
  • Colorimeter
  • Soxhlet Apparatus
  • Extraction and Distillation Unit
  • Shaker Water Bath
  • Ultrasonic Water Bath
  • Magnetic Stirrers
  • Rotary Evaporator
  • High Speed Homogenizer

Career Choices in Pharmacognosy

  • Natural product research
  • Herbal manufacturing including Production, QA/QC both in private sector as well as Government sectors
  • Regulatory affairs
  • Academics
