The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a vital part of SCPS which stands out for the provision of foundational knowledge of Pharmaceutical Sciences. This department is offering various courses related to organic, inorganic, medicinal, analytical and biological chemistry at both undergrad and postgrad levels. These courses have been designed to produce substantial human resources to bridge the existing gaps in healthcare, academia and research sectors. The PhD program in Pharmaceutical Chemistry is designed to inculcate necessary research skills and specialist knowledge in learners. This program is devised for the training of individuals to improve their theoretical concepts and critical thinking, to generate innovative ideas and contribute to diverse areas of pharmaceutical chemistry. Research in pharmaceutical chemistry encompasses a broad spectrum of activities including synthesis, design, purification, characterization, testing and development of drug molecules. The wide scope and diversity of the program would provide adequate freedom to the PhD scholars for execution of translational research. The research scholars would have the opportunity to work in conventional grounds of chemistry along with inter-disciplinary fields including material sciences, chemical physics, protein science, bioengineering and computational modelling. This approach will empower the individuals to work independently in various processes of drug discovery, development and introduction in the therapeutic mainstream. This program has also been designed to enhance the instructional/teaching, writing, communication and technopreneurship capacities. Overall, the scholars would be exposed to the cognitive concepts along with practical expertise in fundamental, advanced and applied chemistry to gain the required expertise in their selected areas of interest.
The PhD (Pharmaceutical Chemistry) program is intended to facilitate the academic and research personnel to work as researchers, academicians, policy makers and managers in academic & research institutes, regulatory bodies and pharmaceutical industries.
