Centre for Toxicology and developmental research
(CEFTE), is OECD-GLP certified test facility since 2014. Having the
state-of-the-art infrastructure and expertise, conducts 'product safety
evaluation' within 'drug development' program of academia, research institutes
and Pharma industry. The potential of risk assessment of pharmaceuticals and
chemicals to which humans and the environment are exposed provides the
necessary basis for protection measures and is 'regulatory affair'. However, it
is not taught either in regular basic or applied science courses. In absence of
focused educational programs, demand for qualified scientists with appropriate
knowledge, experience and professional qualification is unfulfilled in
industry, academia and regulatory bodies. This led us to design a curriculum at
par to global regulations and offer an educational program through CEFTE that
facilitate the development of competent qualified professionals. The master’s
program in "Applied and Regulatory Toxicology" includes a unique
combination of Toxicological principles and its regulatory perspective.
'Regulatory Toxicology' covers the collection, processing and evaluation of
experimental data to permit toxicologically based decisions directed towards
the protection of health against harmful effects of drugs, chemical substances,
food and feed additives and medical devices etc. The program provides a broad,
modern training in theoretical and practical aspects of fundamental and applied
toxicology with interdisciplinary approach. Curriculum is taught by working
professionals and Bench-scientists. Unlike other academic courses, students
will have opportunity to witness and learn through number of
research/experiments being carried out at CEFTE. Students are encouraged to
observe real-life research processes, laboratory techniques and also assist as
feasible. Hence, these students will
demonstrate excellence in all the toxicology disciplines. This advanced
graduate degree has specifically developed to meet the needs of employers like industry,
academia and regulatory agencies; tailored to provide wider opportunity for
employment and higher studies. Graduates completing the program will be
eligible for international toxicology accreditations e.g. ERT, DABT, UK-RT, etc
