Centre for Chemical and Pharmaceutical Science (CPS) was established in 2011. At present the centre has two well established research labs with a number of sophisticated research instruments, such as, microwave synthesizer, solvent extractor, flash chromatography, monochromatic micro palate reader and many more. The main motto of the centre is to conduct research on cancer and to find out a recognized drug in overcoming this disease which is a major problem in this Malwa region, causing higher rates of cancer incidence. Currently the centre has highly qualified faculty and also organizes from time to time guest faculty lecturesfor the benefit of the students and to create awareness for the recent trends followed in medicinal chemistry research worldwide. The center has also achieved research grants from pioneer funding agencies like DST and UGC, in the form of DST-FastTrack, UGC-Major Project and UGC start up grant and own university grant (RSM). Besides this many research/review papers are being continuously published in various pioneer national and international journals which all speak about the excellence of the centre. The centre is currently following the latest trends and conducting a thorough research on Design, Synthesis and Biological Screening of Novel Multi-target inhibitors of Tyrosine Kinase(s) and Topoisomerase, Synthesis of Bioactive Heterocyclic Scaffolds Using Novel Green Technologies and Synthesis of Rebaudioside-A: Natural Substitute for Sugar from Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) and many more.
