Department of Pharmaceutical Technology

Department of Pharmaceutical Technology (General Description)

Pharmaceutical Technology can be briefly summarized as all technologies related to the development of a pharmaceutical form using natural, semi-synthetic and synthetic active and auxiliary substances, production in industry and use in patients. Performs necessary analysis, test and quality control studies in these stages and develops new analysis and test methods if necessary.

In order to teach these subjects, theoretical courses and laboratories of Pharmaceutical Technology I-II-III-IV, Cosmetology, Biopharmaceutical, Pharmacokinetics, 5th year courses and 5 Pharmacy Technician courses are given in Atatürk Vocational School.

With our laboratories equipped with the latest technology, scientific infrastructure and research facilities, scientists are trained.

Within the scope of the vocational training programs that we carry out as a requirement of lifelong education, besides the trainings such as cosmetic products, majistral preparations for manufacturers and pharmacists, training in advanced Pharmaceutical Technology, production, GMP and licensing for all graduates and industry is also included.

In this period, more than ten TÜBİTAK (1001-1003-1002-1505) projects and 14 BAP (Scientific Research Project) projects are carried out in our department.

It prepares magistral medication in line with the daily prescriptions from the surrounding hospitals.

All kinds of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products are developed in our laboratories and various services including analysis and quality controls are offered. The interactions of formulations with active substances, development of new drug delivery systems, release studies in the formulations as well as finished product stability studies and physicochemical analyzes are performed within the scope of Revolving Fund Services.
