Immunology is the study of how the body defends against a wide variety of pathogenic and parasitic microorganisms. Immunological research helps us to understand the mechanisms of immune defense against common infections, and causes of autoimmune diseases, etc. This understanding is vital for modern medicine in areas such as drug development, the treatment of allergy, and autoimmune diseases, etc.

Pharmacology goes hand in hand with the immunology, as it studies how drugs and other chemicals affect the body in health and disease. Current trends in pharmacology includes the development of improved medicines from herbal origins.

Immunology and Pharmacology Laboratory equipped with modern instrumentation, including ELISA- enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, Uv-visible spectrophotometry, cell imaging facility, etc. provide modern technology for immunological and pharmacological research studies
