====== Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences ======

The Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (IPS) was established upon approval of the UP Board of Regents in October 1998 as a research and service unit advancing pharmaceutical sciences in support of national health priorities. The IPS operates across four core areas: Drug Design and Discovery; Formulation Design and Pharmaceutical Technology; Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Studies; and Regulatory Sciences. Its interdisciplinary research spans antimicrobial discovery, probiotics and natural products, drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical analysis, and pharmacovigilance. Through training and extension services, the IPS strengthens regulatory practice, medicines quality assurance, and local pharmaceutical research and manufacturing capacity toward a resilient and self-reliant health sector.\\
