Research: Run and fun with radicals

[Novartis India @NovartisIndia]

Strengthening India’s science ecosystem, together.
A strong pharmaceutical Research and Development (R&D) ecosystem does not grow in isolation. It is shaped through steady collaboration across education, research, and the translation of academic research into real world impact.

We are pleased to share that we have signed the Faculty Pioneer Grant with the National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research. Aimed at advancing R&D excellence across the NIPER network, the grant has been awarded to @NIPER_SAS_NAGAR.

We would like to thank all faculty members across the NIPERs who participated in the process. A special thank you to Shri Manoj Joshi (IAS), Secretary, @Pharmadept for his presence during the signing. Through partnerships like these, we continue working towards a future where research translates into meaningful outcomes for patients across India and beyond.

@TGryko Excellent opportunity!

[Joydev K. Laha @LahaJoydev]

Over a decade, our research group has been involved in industrial organic synthesis that especially could address key challenges in pharmaceutical synthesis. Towards this endeavor, we have developed new, sustainable and green synthesis of APIs largely involving radical chemistry.
