Areas of research
 The key areas of research are:
• Design and synthesis of new chemical entities for nephrology, neurology, and cardiology, as well as anticancer, antibacterial, and antidiabetic drug synthesis
• Solution-phase synthesis techniques for the production of unnatural/functionalized amino acids and peptides
• Solvent-free environment, water-based reaction with or without catalyst, microwave/ultrasound-assisted synthesis
• Natural lead compounds undergo structural changes
Career opportunities
The students have successful careers in the pharmaceutical business as well as academics. They can work in R&D, QC, and QA, as medical writers, in Pharmacovigilance, as chemists, pharmacists, and analytical chemists, as patent writers, and in Pharmacopeia labs. They can also pursue academic careers or further their education at numerous research institutes in India and overseas, and work in a variety of scientific jobs in certified labs, institutions, and universities.
The Master of Pharmacy (Pharmaceutical Chemistry) degree programme is structured and developed to prepare students for careers in academia and the pharmaceutical sector. Pharmaceutical chemistry is a stimulating discipline with a traditional focus on organic synthetic chemistry and broad goals of drug discovery that connects many scientific disciplines and allows collaboration with researchers from other disciplines such as biologists, toxicologists, pharmacologists, theoretical chemists, microbiologists, and bio-pharmacists in the development of new drugs. The goal of the curriculum is to enable postgraduate students to work independently, competently, and technically in a range of settings, including academic and research careers.
M. Pharm graduates can work for the government in a Junior Executive position in a variety of departments, including production and quality control. After gaining sufficient experience, they can advance to the position of Deputy Manager and finally Manager. If their expertise and experience are appropriate for the senior position, Junior Pharmacists can advance to Senior Pharmacist. Aspirants who want to become teachers can work as lecturers in any government institution. Assistant professor is the next higher classification possible for a lecturer. To be considered for this higher position, a professor must have a specified number of years of experience. After gaining sufficient experience, an Assistant Professor can advance to the position of Senior Professor.
