Department of Pharmacology was established in the year 2007. The department aims at investigating the effect of drugs on animals to acquire in vivo knowledge on the mechanism of drug action, drug toxicity and use of drugs to delineate biological processes for the cure of diseases. In addition, identification and validation of new cellular targets for drug action and design as well as development of new drugs will be carried out. The department is interlinked with Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmaceutics and Pharmacognosy to screen drugs/formulations/new extracts developed by other sister departments. Faculty members are actively involved in developing new methods to screen various classes of drugs such as cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, etc. These formulations will be considered for scale-up batches. Research work of the department is supported by AICTE, VGST and CSIR.  The department has a separate animal house facility recognized by the CPSCEA.
