Chemistry laboratories at college:
Postgraduate Chemistry Department:
A) SYNTHETIC CHEMISTRY
- The design of “better” molecules is a central aspect in the broader field of medicinal chemistry.
- Medicinal chemist plays a key role in pharmaceutical research, he is expected to synthesize, purify and analyze novel bioactive compounds.
- Lead identification and optimization.
- ADME prediction by using drug design and molecular modeling softwares.
- High throughput screening methods.
B) QUALITY ASSURANCE
Drugs being a very important component of healthcare, these need special attention especially with respect to:
- Responsibility of assuring product quality belongs principally to quality assurance personnel but involves team effort.
- The manufacturer fulfills his obligation to the consumer by following good manufacturing practices, which ensure that a product consistent high quality is manufactured by him every time.

- In the recent past pharmaceutical manufacturing organizations world over have devoted a great deal of effort (resources) to ensure compliance with cGMP guidelines issued by licensing authorities.
In the view of change which is taking place Indian pharmaceutical industry; to stand in the global market, Quality assurance department is set to help the students to learn and understand the concepts of cGMP, GCP, GLP, etc. and implement them successfully to industry.
