National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) is conceived to provide leadership in pharmaceutical sciences and related areas not only within India, but also to the countries in South East Asia, South Asia and Africa.

It is a member of Association of Indian Universities and Association of Commonwealth Universities. It was declared as an Institute of National importance by Government of India through Act of Parliament.

Pharmacoinformatics NIPER

Drug discovery research has become more complex science which require a multidisciplinary approach. Converging concepts of several disciplines such as molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, pharmaceutical sciences and computational technology has become more than a trend in education.

The Pharmacoinformatics course is designed to teach the new millennium drug discovery science to the pharmacy graduates to become the successful drug discovery scientist in pharmaceutical industry.

Training and Continuing Education Programs

In order to keep pharmacy professionals acquainted with the latest developments in the field of pharmacy, the institute conducts training programs from time to time.

NIPER has been empanelled by Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India to conduct training programs on regulatory aspects in pharmaceutical sciences for the international delegations and also by Ministry of Health to conduct training programs for drug regulatory staff, government analysts and technical and analytical staff from SSIs.
