The pharmaceutical sector is one of the important areas of modern medicine and plays a significant role in providing the population with high-quality, effective, and safe medicines. The development of this field requires not only qualified pharmacists but also the training of young specialists who are interested in research, capable of independent thinking, and equipped with up-to-date knowledge.

  For this purpose, the Young Pharmacists Scientific Society has been established at the Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Technologies. The Student Scientific Society aims to involve young people in scientific research, strengthen their theoretical knowledge, develop their practical skills, and improve their ability to conduct research independently.

  The main objective of the Young Pharmacists Scientific Society is to enhance the scientific potential of students studying pharmacy, actively involve them in research activities, and contribute to their development as highly qualified professionals in the future.

  During the activities of the society, students select scientific areas that correspond to their interests and conduct research under the guidance of professors, lecturers, and scientific supervisors. In this process, they acquire skills in working with scientific literature, analyzing information, conducting experiments, summarizing research results, and drawing scientific conclusions.

  Within the framework of the Student Scientific Society, students conduct research on various topics together with their scientific supervisors. The research process usually begins with selecting a research topic. Subsequently, scientific literature, research articles, and other relevant sources related to the selected topic are studied.

  At the next stage, the aims and objectives of the research are determined. When necessary, experiments are conducted under laboratory conditions, and the obtained results are analyzed from statistical and scientific perspectives.

  Upon completion of the research, students formulate their conclusions and prepare their scientific work in the form of a research article, thesis, or presentation. The best scientific works may be presented at various scientific and practical conferences.

  Scientific Seminars and Conferences

  Scientific seminars play an important role in the activities of the Young Pharmacists Scientific Society. During these seminars, students present the results of their research to other students and members of the academic staff.

  Such activities help students develop their public speaking skills, the ability to defend their ideas and research findings on a scientific basis, and the ability to answer questions effectively.

  Participation in scientific conferences provides students with an opportunity to present their research to a wider scientific audience. At the same time, they have the opportunity to become acquainted with the research conducted by other scientists and gain new scientific ideas.

  The staff of the department, together with their students, actively participate in various scientific conferences. As a result, several scientific articles and theses have been published based on their joint research activities.

  Practical Classes and Laboratory Work

  Within the framework of the Student Scientific Society, particular attention is paid to connecting theoretical knowledge with practical skills. During laboratory classes, students develop skills in analyzing various medicines, determining their quality indicators, and working with laboratory equipment.

  During practical classes, particular importance is attached to observing safety regulations, using laboratory equipment correctly, and accurately recording the results of experiments.

  Preparation of Scientific Articles and Theses

  One of the important outcomes of the society's activities is the preparation of scientific articles and theses by students. Students are taught how to search for scientific sources, select relevant information, analyze scientific literature, and prepare academic texts.

  Based on their research, students prepare scientific articles devoted to current and relevant issues in the pharmaceutical field. During the preparation of scientific works for publication, the recommendations of scientific supervisors and the editorial requirements of relevant scientific journals are taken into consideration.

  Within the Young Pharmacists Scientific Society, students, together with their scientific supervisors, have published more than 100 scientific articles and theses. This achievement demonstrates the high level of scientific activity among the students and academic staff of the department, as well as the effectiveness of the research activities carried out by the society.
