Introduction

The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry of Westfort college of Pharmacy was established in the year 2018. The department handles theory and practical subjects like Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Analysis, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Computer aided Drug design (CADD) for B.Pharm and D.Pharm students. Our group of competent faculty ensures that students succeed with the education and skills to advance their careers in academia, research and industry. Pharmaceutical chemistry involves the use of laboratory methods to determine the composition of samples qualitatively, semi quantitatively and quantitatively. The students get exposure to monitor the presence or absence of chemical moiety in given sample. Semi quantitative analysis allows the students to compare the amount of substance in each samples with a reference standard. A quantitative methods involves volumetric or titrimetric, gravimetric determinations, and instrumental methods of analysis to find out the amount of concentration of sample or percentage purity. The experimental chemistry correlate with theoretical knowledge helpful for the student for synthesizing, analyzing and validating chemical moieties which may have therapeutic properties in physiological system.

Vision

The dept of Pharmaceutical Chemistry aims to become one of the top research centers in recent years to groom budding scientists who are capable of developing new molecules, repurpose existing molecules and can change the face of a pharmacist to that of a professionally sound scholar. We strive to develop competent scientists in Quality control, Analytical development and validation, Research and Development to cater the ever growing needs of the world wide pharma industry. .

Mission
