Pharmacology & Pharmacy (PHR)
Section Information
Pharmacology and Pharmacy focus on the discovery, development, evaluation, and safe use of medicines. The field examines drug actions, mechanisms, therapeutic effects, safety profiles, and clinical application to improve patient care and health outcomes.
Current research includes molecular pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, drug delivery systems, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, toxicology, and pharmaceutical formulation. Advances in precision medicine, biologics, nanomedicine, and digital health technologies are transforming drug development and therapeutic strategies.
This section publishes laboratory investigations, clinical studies, formulation research, pharmacovigilance analyses, and review articles related to drug science and pharmacy practice.
