I feel delighted to introduce Department of Pharmacy (DOP), Women University, Multan (WUM). The DOP has well-equipped laboratories, excellent library facility and has proposed a modern infrastructure that includes state-of-the-art laboratories for evaluation of novel targets in diverse research areas of health sciences.
