MET Institute of Pharmacy (Degree) organised a Student Development Programme for Fourth-year B.Pharm students, featuring three insightful sessions designed to strengthen their understanding of pharmaceutical research, Quality by Design (QbD), and the emerging applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the pharmaceutical sector.
The first session, “Quality by Design (QbD) for Research and Development,” was conducted by Dr. Bhagyashri Joshi, Assistant Professor, MET Institute of Pharmacy (Degree). The session emphasised the importance of systematic experimentation, formulation optimisation, and incorporating quality at every stage of pharmaceutical research and development.
The second session, “Prompt Rx: Writing Prescriptions for AI,” was conducted by Ms. Vrushali Keer, Assistant Professor, MET Institute of Pharmacy (Degree). Through interactive, hands-on activities, students explored how to frame effective AI prompts, conduct scientific literature searches, verify references, summarise research papers, and leverage AI tools for quizzes and viva preparation.
The third session, “Artificial Intelligence for Research and Development,” was conducted by Dr. Bandoo Chatale, Assistant Professor, MET Institute of Pharmacy (Degree). The session introduced students to various AI-powered tools and their practical applications in literature reviews, academic writing, research activities, and other professional tasks.
The programme offered students a valuable opportunity to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications while developing essential research and digital competencies. By exploring quality-driven pharmaceutical development and the responsible use of AI, the sessions equipped students with relevant insights to approach their final-year research projects and prepare for the evolving demands of the pharmaceutical profession.
