M.Pharm Pharmacognosy
The M.Pharm in Pharmacognosy programme at MIT-WPU focuses on the study of natural drugs and their various physical, chemical, microscopical, and biological properties. It also involves the search for novel drugs from natural sources. This programme trains students in the extraction and isolation of compounds from natural sources for medicinal purposes, and prepares them for careers in the pharmaceutical, herbal/ayurvedic, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical industries. The increased demand for standardization and analysis of herbal medications has created a need for trained pharmacognosy professionals, and this programme provides students with the opportunity to research the chemical ingredients found in nature and evaluate their potential for disease treatment.
