DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY:
The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry was initiated in the year 2007. The department is aimed to deliver expertise in the emerging areas of Drug Discovery, Drug Design, skills in the innovative processes for the synthesis of chemical entities and intermediates and their quality assurance using sophisticated instruments, isolation, characterization and evaluation of bioactive constituents from natural sources and develop documentation/Research writing expertise. The department is successful in getting financial support from various funding agencies like DST, AICTE and IKGPTU etc. Faculty members are actively engaged in research and associated with reputed academic institutes and industry.

DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACOLOGY:
The Department of Pharmacognosy is engaged in imparting knowledge in the various fields of natural medicinal products through theoretical and practical mediums. The department is well equipped with an undergraduate research laboratory, a herbal drug museum & herbarium having specimens of several crude plant materials; a beautiful medicinal plant garden ‘AYURVAN’ having almost about hundred varieties of medicinal, ornamental and fruit bearing plants and modern equipments essential for extraction and isolations of natural medicinal products. The key research areas include extraction, isolation, characterization and biological studies of useful plant metabolites and phytoconstituents. The faculty members of the department have a good record of publications. With the mission of "A good effort never fails", the department is going ahead towards research and academics.

ABOUT SHORT TERM TRAINING PROGRAM (STTP Phase-III)
The drug discovery field is swiftly advancing with computer applications and the availability of digitalized molecular data is paving new avenues in Computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) area. Virtual library screening (VLS), a widely recognized technique due to being cost-effective, timesaving, and less laborious, evaluates drug candidates using computational tools. This program aims to provide a firm understanding about the Structure Based Pharmacophore Modeling, Virtual Screening methods, ADMET Prediction, Network Pharmacology, Computational Methods Used in Drug Discovery of Plant Based Constituents and role of molecular dynamics simulations in drug discovery. The main aim of this STTP is to provide experts and the young researchers a platform to discuss the multidisciplinary role of CADD.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED

• Virtual Screening Methods
• Molecular Dynamics Simulations
• Computational Methods for Plant Metabolite Based Drug Discovery
• Assessment of PK properties
