Pharmacology

About the Department/Division:

The Department of Pharmacology was started in the year 2013 under the headship of Professor Debasish Hota. The department offers training in Basic and Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. This training enables students to acquire skills in research, regulatory, industrial, and healthcare delivery. The department has highly qualified and motivated faculty in diverse areas of Pharmacology, fulfilling the AIIMS mandate of teaching, research, and patient care. The department’s research activities focus mainly in the area of Pain, Neuropsychopharmacology, Pharmacoepidemiology, Pharmacometrics, and Artificial Intelligence. The department enables opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration between various allied departments both inside and outside the institute. The department provides therapeutic drug monitoring services for patient care and manages the Pharmacovigilance and Materiovigilance units.

Message from Head of the Department/Division:

“It is a pleasure to see how the Department of Pharmacology has grown from inception to the present level. To fulfill the mandate of AIIMS, we are working together in collaboration within and outside the institute, and I believe this trend will expand further in the time to come. Hope to continue good works….”

Major Achievements:

Commencement of undergraduate training (MBBS) in 2013.
Establishment of MD in Pharmacology program in 2016.
Establishment of Pharmacovigilance unit in February 2019.
Inclusion in the Materiovigilance program in January 2020.

Training of postgraduates to make them competent in academics, research and industry.

Therapeutic drug monitoring service: The Clinical Pharmacology Laboratory is a specialized state of the art unit, equipped with high-end HPLC and autoanalyser for Therapeutic drug monitoring service.
The Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Centre, under the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), is functioning in the department since 2019. The WHO through National Coordinating Centre, Ghaziabad has provided VigiFlow database access to the department; data about adverse drug reactions in AIIMS, Bhubaneswar is entered into VigiFlow and National Coordinating Centre forwards it to UPSALA monitoring centre, Sweden, where the data is analysed and feedback in the form of News Letter is given to all the ADR monitoring centres.
The Medical Device Adverse Event Monitoring Centre under Materiovigilance Programme of India has been established in 2020.
Conducting clinical research in various specialized areas and has been consistent in publishing the research findings in reputed indexed journals. In its efforts to promote evidence based medicine, the department has produced systematic reviews and meta-analysis on various topics in the last few years.
Conducting National Workshop on ‘R’ since 2017. The workshop is noted countrywide for its content which covers most of the aspects of biostatistics.
