The program provides a sound understanding of drug and disease, drug and diagnostics, drug and instrumental approaches at the cellular, molecular and genetic level applying contemporary techniques of modern biomedicine. It provides opportunities to acquire the skills of synthesis, analysis and development of the idea required in the field of pharmaceutical research and ultimately translating it into a form of thesis using potential decision making abilities. Hence, the students are provided with a professional and an amicable environment to be trained as the subject specialists, true researchers and resource persons that are well equipped with the methodologies of modern trends of various disciplines of pharmaceutical sciences.
The program involves various components such as
- extensive course work.
- synopsis writing and defense according to the rules and regulations drawn by the research department of the university,
- and original research demanding extensive bench work or clinical work (depending upon the protocol and design selected),
- and finally writing and defending thesis.
