NUS Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Dept

Mr Kulkarni Swanand Mahesh graduated from Savitribai Phule Pune University and completed a research internship at IIT Bombay before joining the NUS M.Sc. in Pharmaceutical Science and Technology (MPST) programme. Drawn by MPST’s balance of scientific rigor and industry relevance, he sought to deepen his expertise in formulation development, drug delivery, and regulatory frameworks while learning to translate ideas into practical healthcare solutions. The programme deepened his technical skills in formulation science, biomedical analysis, and product development, while also building transferable strengths through interdisciplinary projects, including leadership, clear scientific communication, strategic problem solving, and strong time management.

"MPST is a transformative launchpad that blends strong scientific grounding with hands-on learning through real-world case studies, applied projects, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Graduates are grounded in pharmaceutical science and equipped with the adaptability and problem-solving mindset that are valued across industry, research institutes, and academia."

Just like Swanand, you too can embark on this incredible journey. Find out more about the MPST programme here: https://nus.edu/3Ii1IbZ

Applications for the August 2027 Early Admission opens from 16 May to 15 July 2026!

HEYY INCOMING PHARMACY AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE FRESHMEN!!

Introducing 🧬 Pharm Orientation Camp 22026: ANAMNΞSIS 🧠

Four patients from four different clans awaken side by side in run-down hospital beds, suffering from memory loss. They are informed that they are currently undergoing treatment for exposure to a toxic drug. However, the longer the patients rest, the more uneasy they feel. They feel that something is amiss. Powered by curiosity and fear, the patients decide to set off into the unknown and investigate the truth themselves.

Rivalry between the patients run deep as fight or flight instincts are at an all-time high. The clock is ticking: will they overcome their differences and work together, or will they stay trapped in the facility? 👻🫣

🧪 Get ready for 4 intense fun filled days of non-stop action: 🎮 Inter OG Games, 🏁 Amazing Race, 💧 Wet Games, 🎲 Mass Games…and so much more, all crafted to test your wit and teamwork. 👾‼️

🧷 Camp Dates: 17–20 June 2026 (no overnight stays)
🗓 Sign-Up Period: 15 May – 6 June 2026
💵 Estimated Cost: $40 (final price will be confirmed via email)

We hope that our attendees had a great time at the Cardiometabolic, Renal & dIabetes Optimisation Unified Services (C-RIOUS) Workshop last week! The intensive three-day program brought together a multidisciplinary panel of experts to share invaluable insights into cardiometabolic diseases. A major highlight was the clinical shadowing gained by our learners, who observed real-life cases across diverse clinical disciplines, from diabetes nursing (continuous glucose monitoring), to ophthalmology, cardiology, nephrology and also physiotherapy and dietetics!!
 
Missed out this time? We welcome any healthcare professional - general practitioner, nurses, podiatrists, pharmacists - to join us for our next cohort. Stay tuned for updates! 

The Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences welcomed distinguished visitors from University of Nottingham, UK on 19 & 21 May 2026:

👩‍⚕️ Prof. Barrie Kellam (Professor of Medicinal Chemistry and Head of Pharmacy School, University of Nottingham, Chair of UK Pharmacy Schools Council)
👩‍⚕️ Prof. Tracey Thornley (Professor of Health Policy, University of Nottingham, and Honorary Academic Consultant at the UK Health Security Agency)
👨‍⚕️ A/Prof. Marc Donovan OBE (Healthcare Development Director, Boots UK, Honorary Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice, University of Nottingham)

They delivered inspiring talks, engaging with community pharmacy stakeholders and sparked meaningful discussions on the future of pharmacy practice to better health in the community. Prof. Barrie Kellam shared his passion for medicinal chemistry of G protein‑coupled receptors in an engaging talk, followed by an interactive session with our faculty. 🔬✨

A truly energizing exchange of ideas and collaboration! 🚀

It was a great honour to welcome Prof. Hiroaki Suga from the University of Tokyo as an NUS Distinguished Visitor. A recipient of the 2023 Wolf Prize in Chemistry and the 2024 Japan Academy Prize, and a Member of the Science Council of Japan, Prof. Suga delivered two inspiring lectures highlighting his landmark contributions to drug discovery research.

During his visit, Prof. Suga held productive discussions with the Department and NUS leadership to exchange ideas, explore opportunities for collaboration between NUS and the University of Tokyo, and share insights from his entrepreneurial journey. He also engaged with faculty members from the Department and the Faculty of Science, fostering new connections and potential collaborations, and met with the Department’s graduate students at a networking session that sparked lively and stimulating discussions. He further connected with the NUS entrepreneurial community through a Fireside Chat with NUS Enterprise and GRIP, where he shared valuable perspectives on innovation, translational research, and entrepreneurship.
