Professor
Pharmaceutical Analysis
Overview
The Department of Pharmaceutical analysis aims to focus on the development of analytical methods using new combinations of established instrumentation and approaches. It involves basic research in identity, purity, content and stability of starting materials, excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The department is involved in teaching and training post graduate students, in the subjects of analytical sciences pertaining to qualitative and quantitative estimation of natural and synthetic compounds in various matrices by application of spectroscopy, chromatography and analytical methods.
Major Thrust Area of the Department
-
Analytical and bioanalytical method development and validation
