INTRODUCTION

The objective of Industry Program in Pharmaceutical Chemistry is to provide an intensive and together date learning in the emerging area of Chemical sciences. The program provides a basic to advance level of expertise in Industry Program in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and production and its usage in the industry.

Pharmaceutical Chemistry is the study of the molecular and mechanistic aspects of pharmaceuticals. The discipline emphasizes the chemistry of drug design and development, drug action, drug transport, , and targeting. The development of new pharmaceuticals is critically dependent on a molecular-level understanding of biological processes and mechanisms of drug action. Progress in the field now depends on the design and synthesis of new molecules using tools such as structural activity relationships, combinatorial chemistry, and computer-aided drug design and synthetic. In recent years rational design of drugs tuned to specific target sites is becoming a reality due to concurrent advances in chemistry , biology, including elucidation of the human genome. Chemists continue to be at the forefront of drug design, synthesis, testing, and development. The proposed program will prepare students to fully and confidently participate in health and biomedical careers.

Career Prospects
The pharmaceutical industry ranks among the fastest growing manufacturing industries, it is a major employer of chemists; in recent years. Pharmaceutical companies need employees of PharmaChemist with strong skills in modern chemical techniques as well as a good understanding of biomedical issues such as drug action, drug design and drug development. Students are increasingly career-oriented and are motivated by early exposure to applications of their studies. The combination of chemistry and biology is studied in this programme, together with the major grounding received in synthetic organic chemistry, leaves graduates well-prepared for employment in this sector. A large number of graduates continue their studies to Ph.D. level. In addition, pharmaceutical chemistry will provide an excellent groundwork for careers in patent law.
