But are there any serious takers of the this course ?The course was started in July last year .it attracted more than 50
students, who enrolled themselves for the course but , shockingly only 5 students turned up for the classes .The department
has made another endeavour this year but the fate it met is no different from the previous one.The course was supposed to
start in July but met with luke warm reponse from the students. Subsequently, it had to be postponed to September . Though
the department is ready to make all possible adjustments according to the convenience of the students, but the next encouraging

Get a cell to create new cells
By Gurjot Dang
Now diseases like Motion Sickness, Angina Pectoris, Hypertension, etc. can be treated with the help of a cell.
Dr G.S. Dhillon, Head of the University Science Instrumentation Centre (USIC) has developed a diffusion cell, in collaboration
with electronic, mechanical and glass blowing sections for studying transdermal drug delivery formulations.
Talking about his discovery, Dr Dhillon said, “Diffusion Cell is efficient to screening typically applied
formulations for penetration across the skin which are used to treat diseases like Hypertension, Motion Sickness, etc.”
And what makes this apparatus special is its cost. While in the U.S.A. and Europe it costs between Rs four to five lakhs,
our apparatus is priced at about Rs 25,000.
The Diffusion Cell has proved an instant success for the researchers of the Pharmacy department.
