"Advancing Pharmaceutical Excellence with Integrity and Innovation"
Supported by Universitas Airlangga as a globally competitive center for knowledge development and innovation.
The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Airlangga, plays a pivotal role in advancing comprehensive, innovation-driven, and impactful pharmaceutical sciences. The department's primary focus encompasses drug discovery and development, beginning with the exploration of natural resources, including medicinal plants and marine biodiversity, which are rich sources of bioactive compounds. This process includes ethnomedicinal investigations followed by the extraction and isolation of active compounds with potential as drug candidates.
Drug development is further strengthened through modern approaches such as *in silico* molecular design and structural modification, enabling efficient prediction of biological activity and optimization of compound properties. These computational approaches are integrated with chemical synthesis to produce novel compounds with enhanced efficacy and improved safety profiles.
The department also focuses on the engineering of pharmaceutical active ingredients and excipients, as well as the design and development of innovative pharmaceutical technologies, including advanced drug delivery and targeted delivery systems, as well as cosmetic products. These innovations aim to improve bioavailability, stability, and therapeutic effectiveness.
Another major area of expertise is the standardization of pharmaceutical raw materials derived from both natural and synthetic sources. Supported by pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmaceutical analysis, this process ensures the consistency, quality, and quantity of pharmaceutical ingredients while guaranteeing the quality of finished products through rigorous testing using validated analytical methods.
By integrating these diverse scientific disciplines, the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences is committed to developing high-quality pharmaceutical products that are effective, safe, acceptable to society, and possess assured stability.
