The evolving landscape of pharmaceutical sciences demands a multidisciplinary approach that integrates formulation science, computational modeling, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. This practical manual has been meticulously designed to meet the requirements of M.Pharm students specializing in Pharmaceutics, Industrial Pharmacy, and Drug Delivery. The manual encapsulates critical experimental methodologies covering traditional and advanced topics such as microencapsulation, solid dispersion, bioavailability, Quality by Design (QbD), Design of Experiments (DoE), in vitro cell studies, computational modeling, and cosmetic formulation development.
This manual not only emphasizes hands-on experimental techniques but also integrates software-based simulation and data analysis, bridging the gap between bench-top experiments and industrial application. Each experiment is structured with a clearly defined aim, principle, detailed chemical and apparatus requirements, procedural steps, materials with specified quantities, observation tables, and designated sections for students to record results and derive conclusions.
The objective of this compilation is to impart practical proficiency, enhance critical thinking, and encourage research aptitude among postgraduate pharmacy students. We believe this manual will serve as a foundational resource and a valuable reference for academic and research pursuits.
