M.Sc. Applied and Regulatory Toxicology (CBCS)

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
