Department of Pharmacology is concerned with the study of effects of drugs and chemicals on living organisms. The department has three well-furnished laboratories specialising on human anatomy and physiology, pharmacology and pathology. The laboratories are used for various research activities, including testing drug efficacy, identifying drug mechanisms of action, and evaluating drug safety in addition to teaching and learning process. The key features of the lab are handling and housing of laboratory animals, assessing the effects of drugs on animal behavior and motor activity, administration of drugs by different routes such as oral and parenteral, measuring drug concentrations and assessing drug metabolism, experimenting on cells, tissues or organs outside the living body, investigating how drugs interact with biological systems at the molecular level, testing new compounds for drugs potentiality, including screening for toxicity, evaluating the effectiveness and safety of existing and new drugs etc. Senior and experienced faculty members help the students to learn the processes. Some of the notable instruments present in the department include Kymographs, organ baths, analgesiometers, actophotometer, pole climbing apparatus, plythesmograph, microscopes, centrifuges, etc. Various charts and models are also displayed in the laboratories for the students.
