  • To encourage and motivate students to conduct research in their particular professions.

The Department of Pharmacology of BUHS was established in 2010 and started its journey in 2013 as offering extra departmental courses for other programs like 4 years BSc (Honors) Biochemistry, Microbiology, Lab Technology and 1.5 years MS courses in Biochemistry and Immunology. Since its inception the department owns an Animal House which is a rare opportunity in the context of educational Institutions of Bangladesh. Animal experimentation course is being taught in this department. Animal House is essential to the quality of teaching of this course. Moreover, it is utmost important to the quality of research data and or testing programs in which animals are used. Using Animal house facilities Undergraduate and Postgraduate students can develop their skills necessary to enter the workforce or they can pursue further higher education leading to PhD in the related fields at home and abroad.

  • Pharmacology brings together information from a variety of scientific fields, including chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology, to improve human health.
  • Graduates and postgraduates students will make up the majority of the future workforce in the preclinical and clinical drug safety fields.
  • Students are also able to do work in academic or industry settings in various fields of medical research, while others continue their higher studies by enrolling in PhD programs.

Message of The Vice-Chancellor

Prof. J.M.A Hannan

Contrary to popular notion in our society health is not an issue only for the physicians but its development needs a concerted effort of professionals from basic, clinical and social sciences. In line with this concept, generation of human resources in health should not be treated merely from teaching and training points of views; research should also be equally emphasized in this venture as evidences based on geographical, environmental, ethnic and sociocultural background are a prerequisite for rational and cost-effective health care delivery in a population. Based on an internationally recognized research tradition at BIRDEM and BIHS which, in turn, are rooted in the long-term dream of Late National Professor Dr M Ibrahim, the present University aims to blend the three vital elements (teaching, training and research) of education to fulfill the ultimate responsibilities (knowledge dissemination and knowledge generation) of a higher centre of learning. With this aim Bangladesh University of Health Sciences (BUHS) has started its journey with full-time non-practicing (or institutionally practicing) faculty members and a number of highly reputed guest faculties and collaborating partners from all over the world. In public health, BUHS has taken a discipline-wise subspecialty approach which fits more with the present volume of knowledge and technological advancement in the area.We believe that studying in BUHS will be a pleasant and productive experience. Welcome to the BUHS Family!
