Nanopharmaceuticals
Nanopharmaceuticals offer the ability to detect diseases at much earlier stages and the diagnostic applications could build upon conventional procedures using nanoparticles. Nanopharmaceuticals represent an emerging field where the sizes of the drug particle or a therapeutic delivery system work at the nanoscale. In the pharmaceutical industry a long standing issue is the difficulty of delivering the appropriate dose of a particular active agent to specific disease site. Nanopharmaceuticals have enormous potential in addressing this failure of traditional therapeutics which offers site-specific targeting of active agents. Such precision targeting via nanopharmaceuticals reduces toxic systemic side effects, resulting in better patient compliance.
In today’s world economy, a pharmaceutical industry faces enormous pressure to deliver high-quality products to patients while maintaining profitability. Therefore pharmaceutical companies are applying nanotechnology to enhance or supplement drug target discovery and drug formulation. Nanopharmaceutical reduces the cost of drug discovery, design & development and enhances the drug discovery process. This results in the improved Research & Development success rate which enables faster introduction of new, cost-effective products to the marketplace. For example, nanotechnology can be applied to current micro-array technologies, exponentially increasing the hit-rate for promising candidates/targets that can be screened. Inexpensive and higher-throughput DNA sequencers based on nanotechnology can reduce the time for both drug discovery and diagnostics.
The program Nanopharmaceuticals & Its Industrial Applications explains all the latest procedures which take place at the nanoscale in the pharmaceutical industry. |

Program Aim
The program aims to give participants a thorough grasp of these amazing new applications of Nanotechnology in pharmaceutical industry. It equips the participant to explore further and discover the power of the nanoscale in the pharmaceutical industries. While the subject matter is covered in great depth, a lot of attention is paid to ensure that the participant understands the practical applications of the study material in the domain of Nanopharmceuticals.
Program Features
The program Nanopharmaceuticals & Its Industrial Applications is a unique initiative, not just in terms of its subject matter, but also in term of its delivery methodology. The program begins by explaining basic concepts of nanotechnology in pharmaceutical industry. It then examines various other topics such as drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical nanomaterials, nanomedicines, pharmaceutical nanosystems, nanobiomaterials, Nanobiostructures, laboratory procedures and the various uses of nanotechnology in the drug industries. In order to give a real-world dimension, the various characterization tools used to measure nano properties, fabrication mechanisms used to manufacture pharmaceutical nanomaterials and essential laboratory techniques used in are examined in detail.
The study material (books, CDs), supported by unique course delivery methodology (e-learning, supported by latest modules of Learning Management Systems - LMS) has been designed, ensuring that the participant is trained and certified while continuing with existing duties. A number of highly qualified experienced professionals - tapping resources from Indian and overseas institutions of excellence form a rich faculty and knowledge resource for the program.
Program Outcome
As on today nanoscale procedures have become prerequisite to pharmaceutical industries. According to the market research portal Info shop, the market for nanopharmaceuticals has grown from $406 million in 2004 to $3 billion in 2009 and will be $16.6 billion in 2014. The increasing demands and applications of pharmaceutical nanotechnology result in securing positions in the pharmaceutical and other health care industries. This program will help graduates and post graduates to increase their knowledge in nanopharmaceuticals and they will be able to pursue careers in a diverse range of drug industries.
