Pharmacology
Pharmacology is the study of drugs. It involves examining the interactions of chemical substances with living systems, with a view to understanding the properties of drugs and their actions, including the interactions between drug molecules and drug receptors and how these interactions elicit an effect. The Pharmacology lab is well equipped with sophisticated instruments to provide quality instruments and facilities to conduct research.
