The M.Pharm in Pharmachemistry and Pharmacognosy are specialized postgraduate programs tailored for pharmacy graduates interested in the scientific foundations of drug development.
M.Pharm in Pharmachemistry:
This specialization deals with the chemical aspects of drugs, including their synthesis, analysis, structure-activity relationship (SAR), and drug design. It emphasizes medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis, and analytical techniques to understand how drugs interact with biological systems. Graduates are suited for careers in pharmaceutical R&D, API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) synthesis, analytical labs, and drug regulatory affairs.
M.Pharm in Pharmacognosy:
This branch focuses on medicinal plants and natural products, studying the biological, chemical, and therapeutic properties of plant-based drugs. It integrates ethnobotany, phytochemistry, and biotechnology to develop herbal formulations and validate traditional medicines. Graduates can work in herbal drug research, cosmeceuticals, natural product development, and academia.
Both programs include coursework, lab work, research projects, and a final dissertation, providing deep insights into their respective domains.
