Additionally, the course will focus on recent advancements and emerging trends in drug delivery research.
These outcome points can serve as the basis for structuring a comprehensive training or presentation on the intricate processes involved in drug development and regulatory affairs. Each point can be expanded upon with specific examples and case studies to provide a deeper understanding of the subject matters.
In an M.Pharm program with a focus on Pharmaceutics, students engage in a multifaceted learning experience. This includes conducting in-depth literature reviews to grasp the latest developments in pharmaceutical research, designing and executing experiments related to drug formulation and delivery systems, analyzing real-world pharmaceutical cases to propose practical solutions, and participating in collaborative drug development projects aimed at creating new pharmaceutical products. Additionally, students gain valuable insights into regulatory compliance by researching and presenting on pharmaceutical regulations and quality control standards. Communication skills are honed through the effective presentation and written communication of complex pharmaceutical concepts, preparing students for success in the dynamic field of pharmaceutics.
Pharmaceutics is the study of how drugs work and how they may be made. Each stage in the production of a completed dosage form has the potential to alter the rate at which the drug is released from the drug product and the concentration of the drug at the site of action. Both experimental and theoretical methods are used in the study of pharmacokinetics. Developing analytical methods for the measurement of medicines and metabolites, as well as processes that simplify data collection and processing, are all part of the experimental element of pharmacokinetics.

Courses for this semester
This course covers the conception of innovative drug delivery systems using several methodologies, as well as the selection of medicines and polymers for NTDS development, formulation, and assessment.
This course aims to provide students with an understanding of the process of drug discovery and development from the identification of novel drug targets to the introduction of new drugs into clinical practice. It covers the basic principles of how new drugs are discovered with emphasis on lead identification, lead optimization, classification and kinetics of molecules targeting enzymes and receptors, prodrug design and applications, as well as structure-based drug design methods. Recent advances in the use of computational and combinatorial chemistry in drug design will also be presented. The course is further enhanced with invited lectures on recent developments and applications of drug design principles in the pharmaceutical industry.
The goal of the course "Computer Applications in Pharmaceutical Research and Development" is to teach students the fundamentals of computer science and how they are used to the whole process of creating new pharmaceuticals.
The course covers the regulatory requirements for conducting a clinical trial, and different types of clinical trials including the responsibilities of key players involved in clinical trials as well as documentation requirements for clinical trials. Moreover, it covers Adverse drug reactions and their management and ADR reporting, methods and tools used in Pharmacovigilance. It will give basic information on Pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics and safety pharmacology.
The course explore into both foundational and advanced pharmacological aspects, facilitating an understanding of disease pathophysiology, drug classifications, mechanisms of action, adverse effects, contraindications, and interactions. It also provides insights into recent advancements in drug therapy for diverse diseases, emphasizing the molecular basis of drug effects to ensure their safe and effective utilization.
This course introduces the fundamental principles and practices of toxicology, including dose-response and toxicokinetic analysis. It will also cover reproductive toxicology, Toxicokinetic evaluation in preclinical studies. IND enabling studies (IND studies) emphasize understanding mechanisms for these responses.
Bio-pharmaceutics provides the scientific basis for drug product design and drug product development. Each step in the manufacturing process of a finished dosage form may potentially affect the release of the drug from the drug product and the availability of the drug at the site of action. The study of pharmacokinetics involves both experimental and theoretical approaches. The experimental aspect of pharmacokinetics involves the development of biologic sampling techniques, analytical methods for the measurement of drugs and metabolites, and procedures that facilitate data collection and manipulation.
Cosmetics and cosmeceutical science is a master's degree program in pharmacy that focuses on the combination of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, as well as various building blocks. Cosmeceutical science is a relatively new field that arose as a result of today's generation's high demand for cosmetics and beauty care products. Cosmetics just manage skin's surface issues; cosmeceuticals address the underlying causes of skin problems and produce long-lasting effects. Cosmetics produce results immediately and instantly, but cosmeceuticals produce benefits gradually but permanently. The experts advise avoiding using cosmetics. Cosmeceuticals are always advised by dermatologists and skincare specialists.
