Pharma and biotech sectors represent some of the most research-intensive fields in India. Given the highly technical nature of their operations, securing DSIR recognition involves meeting detailed criteria regarding laboratory safety, experimental protocols, and documentation.
Focus Areas in Pharma & Biotech
Qualifying research include formulation development, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis, analytical method development, clinical trial runs, and bio-equivalence research. Routine batch testing and standard quality control check processes do not qualify.
Key Infrastructure Highlights
The R&D facility must possess chemical analysis instruments (HPLC, GC, MS), microbiological testing hoods, and dedicated stability chambers. Research teams must be led by scientists with postgraduate or doctoral degrees in chemistry, pharmacy, or biology.
