Microbiology and Immunology covers all aspects of the interrelationship between infectious agents and their hosts. Among the major topics covered are microbial and viral pathogenesis and the immunological host response to infections. Microbiology and Immunology is a science which deals with microbial pathogens (viruses, mycoplasma, bacteria, and eukaryotic microbes) and the immune surveillance machinery of the host which provide protection against these organisms. This field of science stresses on the challenges posed by pathogens to the host and how they shape the host immune responses. This field deals with disparate study areas such as virology, microbiology, microbial genetics, parasitology, molecular virology, pathogenic bacteriology, immunology, auto-immunity, immunogenetics, disease mechanisms, and cell and molecular biology. This branch of science especially focuses on the mechanisms of gene regulation in microorganisms, cultured cells, and animal models of disease. Our department consists of a vibrant community of faculty, researchers and students. We offer an unparalleled opportunity to perform research in microbiology and immunology with some of the world's leading scientists.

Mission:

The Department of Clinical Pharmacy mission is to graduate competent and skilled pharmacists as members of the healthcare team for the direct benefits of the patients with the goals of maximizing drug efficacy and minimizing drug untoward effects by ensuring appropriate, safe and cost-effective use of medicines. The department also seeks to promote postgraduate research related to pharmaceutical care, pharmacotherapy, pharmacoeconomics and all clinical aspects of pharmacy practice.

Vision:

The department of Clinical Pharmacy vision is to achieve excellence in pharmacy education, practice and inter-professional experiences to promote healthcare services and improve patient care and public services and as well as conducting innovative clinical research in pharmacy practice at international level.

Objectives:

The department of Clinical Pharmacy aims at providing pharmacy students with fundamental clinical skills and a unique set of knowledge of medical terminology, pathophysiology of diseases and applied therapeutics, clinical skills as well as communication skills to interact with physicians, nurses, patients and family effectively. The department prepares students for career in clinical pharmacy services and stimulates critical-thinking and therapeutic problem-solving when dealing with patients in health care settings.
