Discussing the need for more research experts in the field of pharmaceutical sciences, Dr. Bala Prabhakar, Dean, NMIMS SPPSPTM, said, “The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the entire world to its knees for nearly a year and counting. The range and seriousness of the symptoms and effects of this virus have underscored the need for speed and expertise in finding pharmacological solutions to diseases that have such an expansive footprint and scope of impact. It is evident now, that if we are to prevent similar public health crises in the future, the global pharma industry will need to drastically increase its research and product development capacity. This will require highly competent researchers who are also well-versed with all the necessary tools and processes to carry out quality research. In keeping with India’s goal of becoming ‘the pharmacy of the world’, we, at NMIMS, are committed to shaping research professionals who are meticulous about ethical standards and passionate about saving lives by solving global health issues.”

To maintain its edge in the highly competitive global market, and to prepare for any future healthcare crisis like a pandemic, the Indian pharma industry will need to intensify its emphasis on research-based pharmaceutical product development. Our Ph.D. curriculum is designed to equip students with in-depth knowledge of the field and an understanding of the nuances of the industry through interactions with experts. Apart from teaching special subjects such as Advanced Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacology and Toxicology, Quality Assurance, Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, and Pharmacognosy, the curriculum also stresses on developing soft skills and an understanding of Intellectual Property Rights. The pharma domain will be very important for the coming years, and our Ph.D. (Pharmaceutical Sciences) program ensures that the candidates acquire the expertise and research rigor necessary to succeed in this field.”
 
The Indian pharmaceutical industry is a dominant global player that is expected to grow to USD 100 billion by 2025.

As research is one of the key areas of growth, highly qualified postdoctoral professionals can look forward to working with leading pharma giants, research institutes, and in academia.
