Dr. Md. Abdul Muhit
Welcome everyone to the department of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacology.
The goal of this department is to provide innovative, inter-professional experiences to develop students and pharmacists as integral members of the health care team which will contribute to the health care system both nationally and globally. It also examines broader relationships between patients and the health care and public policy environments that influence factors such as medication cost and access, health disparities, and pharmacy practice models.
The vision of the Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacology is to become a center of excellence in Clinical Pharmacy and pharmacology education, research, consultancy and provision of public services that meet the national, regional and global expectations. The mission of the department is to produce highly trained professionals who are able to provide quality health care and consultancy services and carry out research.
Keeping the vision and mission of this department, four major research areas where a group of researchers are currently conducting their research works:
- Pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetic study on the coronary artery diseases, NAFLD and various cancer patients
- Anti-microbial resistance pattern in Multidrug resistant bacteria and possible resistant modifying agents to overcome their resistance patterns
- Novel Drug synthesis, Chemical Biology and DNA research
- Immunological responses on the various viral diseases
- Correlation of different biomarkers in psychiatric patients
- Natural product chemistry and ethnopharmacological study
We, gladly accepts students who have a dream to pursue their career in Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacology.
To give you a short personal accomplishment of the department chair, Professor Dr. Md. Abdul Muhit has been serving this department for more than 16 years. After obtaining his B.Pharm. and M. Pharm. From this University, he was awarded the Japanese Government Monbukagakusho scholarship under which he achieved his PhD degree from the University of Shizuoka, Japan. He has more than 16 years of experience in the field of natural product chemistry and profound knowledge on different analytical techniques. Recently, he has been working on the anti-microbial resistant focusing on the presence of efflux pump genes in the multidrug resistant bacteria and the effect of simultaneous administration of resistance modifying agents on those species. Moreover his research team has interest on the antimicrobial resistant surveillance and the possible causes of developing resistance in clinical isolates of hospital settings. He has published 60 research articles in the reputed international and national journals. He has received several funding from various governmental institutions.
