Department of Pharmaceutics

The department of Pharmaceutics is one of the key departments and is equipped with state of art facilities to undertake research in the drug development and delivery.Apart from the 3 pharmaceutics laboratories, separate machine room has been equipped with various instruments used in the pharmaceutical industries at different stages of formulations ,production, quality control and packing. In course work, emphasis is placed on the fundamentals, underlying in the pharmaceuticals related subject areas. The programme trains the students in the Pharmaceutical technology, Pharmaceutical dosage forms, Advanced drug delivery systems etc.Qualified, dedicated faculties of this department are always keen to show their talents by way of technical lectures, innovation in teachings and tutorials for making skilled, better and effective practical knowledgeable in order to build up good budding pharmacists.

Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis

Pharmaceutical Analysis is a branch of analytical chemistry which deals with quality of Pharmaceutical substances and raw materials. This course will acquaint areas such as stability testing, stress testing to validate stability-indicating methods, plant or animal material analysis, cleaning validations, degradation tests and stability studies, Analytical Method development and method validation, Bioanalytical method development and validation, Impurity profiling, maintenance of raw materials and finished products, and documentation which show their concussion on the development of various pharmaceutical products. Right through this curriculum, trenchant cGMP regulations, FDA guidances and ICH Quality guidelines will be elaborated precisely affirming procedures to help the students to carry on a high level of compliance that surrounds the laboratory ambience.

The central instrumentation laboratory which is the integral part of Pharmaceutical Analysisdepartmentwhich has unique facilities for carrying out analysis of various drugs and pharmaceuticals. It is one of the most exorbitant laboratories in terms of the expense of the instruments. The laboratory is equipped with domestic and imported analytical instruments.

Department of Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance

The pharmaceutical organization is one of the most regulated industries, in which regulation contains particular high quality systems such as good laboratory practice (GLP), good clinical practice (GCP) and good manufacture practice (GMP). This subject focuses to conform to the specifications of the Indian, WHO, US and European standard in the pharmaceutical industry.

Department of Pharmacology

It is the branch of medicine deals with the study of drug action, where a drug can be broadly defined as active pharmaceutical substances, natural, or endogenous molecule which exerts a biochemical and/or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. If substances have medicinal properties, they are considered pharmaceuticals.

The field encompasses drug composition and properties, synthesis and drug design, molecular and cellular mechanisms, organ/systems mechanisms, signal transduction/cellular communication, molecular diagnostics, interactions, toxicology, chemical biology, therapy, and medical applications and antipathogenic capabilities. The two main areas of pharmacology are pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. The former studies the effects of the drug on biological systems, and the latter the effects of biological systems on the drug. In broad terms, pharmacodynamics discusses the chemicals with biological receptors, and pharmacokinetics discusses the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of chemicals from the biological systems. Pharmacology is not synonymous with pharmacy and the two terms are frequently confused. Pharmacology, a biomedical science, deals with the research, discovery, and characterization of chemicals which show biological effects and the elucidation of cellular and organismal function in relation to these chemicals. In contrast, pharmacy, a health services profession, is concerned with application of the principles learned from pharmacology in its clinical settings; whether it be in a dispensing or clinical care role. In either field, the primary contrasts between the two are their distinctions between direct-patient care, for pharmacy practice, and the science-oriented research field, driven by pharmacology.

Department of Pharmacy Practice (Pharm.D)

Pharmacy practice is the discipline of pharmacy which involves developing the professional roles of pharmacists.

Professional development.
Pharmaceutical care
Extemporaneous pharmaceutical compounding.
Communication skills
Health psychology
Patient care
Drug abuse prevention.
Prevention of drug interactions, including drug-drug interactions or drug-food interactions
Prevention (or minimization) of adverse events
Incompatibility
Drug discovery and evaluation
Community Pharmacy
Detect pharmacotherapy-related problems, such as:
The patient is taking a drug which he/she does not need.
The patient is taking a drug for a specific disease, other than one afflicting the patient.
The patient is taking a drug underdose.
The patient is taking a drug overdose
The patient is having an adverse effect to a specific drug.

Pharm.D. course offered by BIPS, has a curriculum which includes :

Patient care, good rapport with physicians and paramedical staff.
Opportunity to participate in many international and national seminars.
Involving in research projects
Therapeutic drug monitoring, drug interactions and literature search
Training on different software like Micromedex and Winnonlin
