DETAILS ABOUT DEPARTMENT OF Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Bachelor of Pharmacy Course is Four-year integrated, full-time course after XIIth Science with PCB or PCM group. This course also comprises 30-days industrial training. In actual course, the student has to study following subjects theoretically & practically & qualify subsequent examination which is conducted in semester pattern by the Shivaji University, Kolhapur.
Apart from course content, students are expected to participate in additional support arranged for them for successful career. These includes visits to industries/ hospitals; excursions & field trips; value-addition initiatives, active-learning initiatives, guest lectures on technical issues, personality development, competitive examinations, professional & social awareness, right attitude building modules; career guidance etc. On successful completion of course, the students are successfully grab government/private jobs in Hospitals/ Medical stores/Community as a Pharmacist or may enter into own medical shop (Retail/Wholesale sale). Students with excellent score may get admission to Post graduate (Master of Pharmacy, M.Pharm) to enhance career opportunities. And thereafter they may get admission to the Doctor of Philosophy.

Chemistry is the science of change. By studying the basic properties of substances and the many transformations they undergo, the chemist finds solutions to scientific challenges and contributes to the development of new technologies. Discoveries in of new life saving drugs, solutions to environmental problems, new products to benefit consumers; all result from the work of chemists.
The pioneers of this department were rooted in physical, computational, analytical, synthetic and enzyme chemistry. This faculty helped to forge modern approaches for structure-based drug and protein design, mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy and computer-aided visualization of macromolecules. The group has flourished from this base and currently represents world-class leaders in drug and protein design, de novo protein structure prediction, proteomics, and synthetic and chemical biology. We seek to innovate computational, chemical, and biochemical approaches to deepen our understanding of the principles of molecular recognition and cell circuit design.
In Pharmaceutical Chemistry Laboratory we perform the experiments like identification of organic & inorganic compounds, synthesis of organic compounds, purification and qualitative as well as quantitative analysis of it by performing chemical tests and using different sophisticated instruments.Furthermore, we perform the experiments by adopting the green chemistry approach like the microwave synthesis of compounds
