Our main teaching commitments are to the undergraduate B.Pharm students. We teach in the broad areas of Pharmacology and Chemistry. All academic staffs share a commitment to top-quality teach-ing which emphasizes general principles and integrates it into the latest findings of modern research.
The over-arching theme of research in the pharmacology division is to discover the fundamental mechanisms which underlie important problems in pharmacology. The division has previously had strong interests in areas of cancer pharmacology, oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally present research interests also emphasize other areas such neuropharmacology, cardiovascular pharmacology, diabetes and wound healing. Research under the chemistry division is focused on drug discovery from natural resources and the analysis of herbal medicines. Researchers conduct basic and applied multidisciplinary research approaches to understand the biological and chemical properties of medicinal plants for potential development into pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.
The graduate program provides research opportunities for highly qualified, motivated students in all of these areas. Researchers in the Department use a variety of techniques and the Department is well equipped with up to date facilities which permit the investigation of drug action.
