Department of Pharmaceutics (PG)


Vision:
To be globally recognized as a centre of excellence in pharmaceutics and drug delivery through our innovative work in research and education

 

Mission:
  • To provide graduate and post graduate students and doctoral fellows with a fundamental understanding of the pharmaceuticals, dosage form design, manufacturing and evaluation
  •  
  • To conduct innovative inter-disciplinary research to improve drug delivery and patient care
  •  
  • To expand federal funding, strategic partnerships and collaborations with industry, regulatory agencies, non-profit organizations and other universities

 

Post Graduate departments in established in 2010, encompassing subject areas, advanced pharmaceutics, modern pharmaceutics, drug delivery systems, regulatory affairs, modern pharmaceutical analytical technology, research methodology & biostatistics etc. The curriculum constists of the subject areas, which can support students to transform into formulation scientists. 

The Department has major equipments like – High pressure homogenizer (HPH), Spray Dryer, All Purpose Laboratory Equipments, Rotary Tablet Press, Colling centrifuge, Stability chambers, Ultra-turrax, Dissolution test apparatus, Automatic tablet tester etc supported by sophisticated analytical instrumentation provided in Central Instrumentation Facility.
