M.Pharm - Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding in extremely valuable fields to biotechnology students, which plays a crucial role in determining the future use and applications in medicine, drug discovery and pharmaceutical sector. Pharmaceutical biotechnology is a relatively new and growing field where biotechnology principles are applied to drug development. The entire course is designed in a manner that the students will learn various technologies that use living organisms for obtaining biological products and bioprocesses in engineering, cloning technology, medicine and other fields requiring Bioproducts.
The course also comprises a broad overview of micro and macro organisms, hybridomas technology, protein formulation, protein design, computational biotechnology, along with Biotech Pharmaceutical Drugs, Pharmacogenomics, and other biotechnology products such as antibodies, nucleic acid products and vaccines are a majority of therapeutic drugs on the current market. Students will also understand the concepts of learning the underlying values of health and disease, the basic molecular mechanisms regulating the function of relevant nucleic acids, synthesis and molecular purification. The course duration is two years consist of four semesters, and after completion the course that provides many jobs opening for the students.

The program provides a balanced and comprehensive knowledge of the basic as well as applied aspects related to Pharmaceutical Biotechnology that would enhance the basic aptitude of each student and prepare them to take up the challenges in the varied and multi-faceted applications of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology in drug development, drug discovery, disease diagnosis and prognosis. There are good career opportunities in the field of Biotechnology students could be placed as the scientist in the areas of Human health, pharmacy, animal health, animal husbandry, dairy, chemical and biochemical, food processing, crime and parentage disputes, agriculture, forestry and fisheries. There is a large-scale employment in research laboratories run by the government as well as the corporate sector. Students with a degree in India may find work in a government-based entity such as universities, research institutes or at private centers as research scientists/assistants. They can be employed in the areas of planning & production and management of bioprocessing industries.
