Buzzingg Celebrate your successes – Big or Small
Pharmaceutical sciences combine a broad range of scientific disciplines that are critical to the discovery and development of new drugs and therapies. Increase in the size of middle class households coupled with the improvement in medical infrastructure and increase in the penetration of health insurance in India, make it a strong candidate to become a future powerhouse of R&D and manufacturing in pharmaceuticals. Many educators in India are contributing significantly towards advancement of this science, transforming the future of healthcare for the benefit of all. Meet Dr. Neetesh Jain, Associate Professor and Head, R&D and Department of Pharmacology in Department of Pharmacy, Oriental University, Indore, who has received multiple awards for his outstanding research in Pharmacy and innovative pedagogical methodologies.
I chose Pharma Science discipline because a Pharmacist is a true ambassador for promoting rational use of medicines in healthcare and I was always interested in this field of science which is related to Drug Discovery.
Dr Neetesh Jain
Dr Neetesh completed his B. Pharm from Technocrats Institute of Technology, Bhopal, in 2006. He completed his M. Pharm with specialization in Pharmacology from B.R. Nahata College of Pharmacy, Mandsaur, in 2008. He started his professional career by working as Assistant Professor in College of Pharmacy, IPS Academy, Indore, in 2008 and then moved on to join RNS Institute of Pharmaceutical Science & Research, Gwalior, in 2009.

I wanted to join Clinical Research Organization (CRO) after my MPharm and it wasn’t in my plans initially to become an educator. But, due to the recession of 2008, I had to take up the career in education. However, as I love Pharma Science, I never compromised on my vision towards quality education and research.
