The  major objective of Biochemistry is the complete understanding of all the chemical processes by the biomolecules associated with living cells at the molecular level. It also deals with the nutrition and their daily requirements, metabolism and the diseases associated with it. All the diseases or disorders have some biochemical involvement hence is useful in the diagnosis of any clinical condition and in its treatment by various by biochemical estimations.

Scope: This subject is designed to impart fundamental knowledge of the structure and functions of the various systems of the human body. It also helps in understanding both homeostatic mechanisms. The subject provides the basic knowledge required to understand the various disciplines of pharmacy. 

Objectives: Upon completion of this course the student should be able to 

• Explain the gross morphology, structure and functions of various organs of the human body. 
• Describe the various homeostatic mechanisms and their imbalances. 
• Identify the various tissues and organs of different systems of the human body. 
• Perform the various experiments related to special senses and the nervous system. 
• Appreciate coordinated working pattern of different organs of each system

Upon completion of the course the student shall be able to

Scope: The course deals with the various physical and physicochemical properties, and principles involved in dosage forms/formulations. Theory and practical components of the subject help the student to get a better insight into various areas of formulation research and development, and stability studies of pharmaceutical dosage forms.

 Objectives: Upon the completion of the course student shall be able to

• Understand various physicochemical properties of drug molecules in designing the dosage forms
• Know the principles of chemical kinetics & to use them for stability testing and determination of expiry date of formulations
• Demonstrate the use of physicochemical properties in the formulation development and evaluation of dosage forms.

• Pharmaceutical jurisprudence it frames the law and different act to maintain the harmony in the society such as it plays an important role is sales, import, distribution, export of the pharmaceutical drugs.
• By keeping the above considerations following act like pharmacy act, Drug and cosmetic act, Drug magic remedies act, poisonous act, Narcotic and Psychotropics substances act etc... had been started with following committee members with the governing bodies like state and central government.
• Thereby the Pharmaceutical Jurisprudence / Forensic pharmacy may flourish all over India.

This paper will provide an opportunity for the student to learn about development of pharmacovigilance as a science, basic terminologies used in pharmacovigilance, the global scenario of Pharmacovigilance, train students on establishing pharmacovigilance programme in an organization, various methods that can be used to generate safety data and signal detection. This paper also develops the skills of classifying drugs, diseases and adverse drug reactions.
