Pharmacology department was established in 2009. Pharmacology is the scientific discipline that studies the mechanisms by which drugs alter biological systems in an attempt to improve health and alleviate disease, whereas toxicology is the study of mechanisms by which drugs and chemicals in the environment produce unwanted effects.
Pharmacology is crucial for: discovering new medicines to help fight diseases. Improving the effectiveness of medicines. Reducing unwanted side effects of medicines. The studies of pharmacology include In-vivo, In-vitro, In-silico models for experimentation
Basic divisions in Pharmacology are Pharmacotherapeutics and clinical pharmacology, the use of drugs in the treatment of diseases. Biochemical pharmacology, the actions of drugs on biochemical processes in the cell.
