THE MISSION:
To provide adequate and up-to-date training in the cutting edge technologies
and applications of genomics, proteomics, molecular modelling, combinatorial
chemistry, pharmaceutics, pharmacology, IPR and modern computational
techniques used for drug target and targeted drug discovery. Graduates of
this course will be an integral part of the drug discovery and development
team and act as an "unique interface between drug discovery scientists" of
diverse disciplines (Biologists, Chemists, Pharmacologist and Formulation
scientists) in pharmaceutical industry.

OBJECTIVES:
To integrate the modern information technology to core sciences of drug
discovery and development by exploiting the advantages of the modern fields
like bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, toxicoinformatics, pharmacy
informatics, etc.
To teach the "art and science of drug discovery and development" for faster
introduction of new drugs.
To teach the information management tools and techniques in the field of
biology, chemistry, pharmaceutics, pharmacology, toxicology and pharmacy
practice.
DISTINCTIVENESS:
This course offers a unique blend of modern information technology and
pharmaceutical sciences to the students. The graduates of this course would
be experts in information technology with pharmacy background. This course
addresses all the areas of basic scientific as well as practical aspects of
state-of-the-art drug discovery. The students will be taught the core
courses of biology, chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacology and the
information technology courses like computer programming in C, C++, RDBMS,
artificial intelligence, as well as bioinformatics, chemoinformatics,
pharmacy informatics, etc. along with hands-on training on drug discovery
software as used by the industry. Such an admixture of advanced subjects is
not available anywhere in the country.
