M.Pharm - Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Specialisations in Pharmacy deal with specific aspects of scientific knowledge that include design, fabrication, and evaluation of drug delivery systems.

For effective design, fabrication, and evaluation of drug delivery systems, it requires a knowledge in a number of areas such as the chemical sciences, biological sciences, and mathematics. Post Graduate programmes in pharmaceutics frequently include academics from other departments such as chemistry, materials science, engineering, biochemistry, medical science, and mathematics.

Advanced studies in the PG programme lets one discover newer depths of gastrointestinal drug absorption, excipient and processing effects on drug product performance, pro-drug design, solubility and dissolution phenomena, drug transport mechanisms, drug stability, computational chemistry, chemical structure-physical property relationships, crystallization mechanisms, permeation enhancers, delivery of anticancer drugs, and many other areas. It also generally entails studying factors in transforming a pure drug substance into a bioactive dosage form, where the right amount of drug is available at the correct site for just the right amount of time.

Career Scope
Those who specialize in pharmacy sciences work in academia, industry, and the government. The types of departments in industry needing pharmaceutical scientists include pharmaceutical development, biopharmaceutics, drug metabolism, and quality control and assurance. This advanced degree also puts you in positions of greater responsibility. It not only places you in a good working environment, it also allows for greater earning potential. With the soaring investments in health care and pharmaceutical industry world over, the prospects for rewarding careers are growing every day.
