Introduction to the Course
M. Pharm (Pharmaceutical Chemistry) is a program run under the Department of Medicinal & Pharmaceutical Chemistry. The Department was established in the year 2011. Medicinal & Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a discipline with a traditional focus on organic synthetic chemistry with the broad goals of drug discovery and optimization. The Department has always departed somewhat from this tradition given the focus of many of its faculty on the research areas of mechanistic drug metabolism, toxicology, and bio-analytical chemistry. In recent years research activities in the Department have been broadened further by the addition of several faculty members with expertise in the areas of drug design and computational studies.
Our departmental research seeks to understand the biological principles of small molecules, proteins, and cellular design, and to apply these principles for the therapeutic benefit of patients. To this end we investigate new molecular treatment targets, new and more precise ways to therapeutically alter their activity, and new biomarkers to track disease and treatment efficacy.
Faculty members of the department are actively engaged in research and they publish their work in reputed international journals. The research work is also presented at reputed national/international conferences. Faculty members also have collaboration with reputed national and international institutes.
