Message From Head of Department

Pharmacology is a medical branch related to the mechanisms of action, uses and ADR of drugs. The subject is essential for the teaching of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy, and industry-ready Life Science students. The discipline covers a broad range of teaching and research areas from pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug-receptor theory, identification and validation of drug targets, agonist and antagonist drug discovery, screening of new compounds, disease-specific system pharmacology and therapeutics, drug development, pharmacogenetics and personalised medicine, clinical drug trials, to adverse drug reactions and toxicology.
The Department has strong foundations in pharmacology teaching and research. Today, we have a formidable team of academic and research staff committed to excel in pharmacology education, teaching and training. Besides, the department is also well-positioned to train students from the Life Science program in basic and molecular pharmacology and toxicology and equip them to become industry-ready pharmaceutical and clinical trial professionals. We are continually innovating in teaching methodologies and digitalisation of education. In addition, we are building up scholarly research in education by teaching staff who also work closely with Medical Education. Our academic and research staff have outstanding research publication and grant funding track records in research.
As HOD Pharmacology, I always work closely with my team to scale greater heights of excellence in teaching and educational research. I will also work with the research programmes to support aspirations for high impact research outcomes with translational applications in therapeutic drug innovations and improving patient care and management.

Prescription auditing, rational pharmacotherapeutics and ADR reporting are carried out to improve health outcomes. Offering workshops and training for faculty and students to stay abreast of new research techniques and educational strategies. Developing initiatives to educate the public on medication management and drug safety. Fostering collaborations with other departments, healthcare professionals, and industry partners to enhance research opportunities and improve patient outcomes.
