CDRI
is a pioneer research organization in the
field of biomedical research in India. It
has the infrastructure and expertise to
develop a drug right from the concept stage
to the market. The institute’s latest
techniques and services are employed for
developing drugs, diagnostics and vaccines
to combat diseases prevalent among mankind
in general and Indian population in particular.
Since its establishment, on 17th Feb. 1951,
the institute has provided leadership on
all fronts of drug R&D, namely, development
of new molecules, novel products, cost-effective
indigenous process know how for institute’s
candidate drugs and generic drugs/drug intermediates,
quality research manpower and trainings
in use of sophisticated tools and techniques
in drug research. Several of the institute
products and process know how have been
successfully commercialized leading to treatment
of diseases, products availability for indigenous
and international markets and generation
of foreign exchange. Besides, the Institute
has played a critical role in putting the
country on the international scene in drug
R&D.
CDRI trains a large number of students
and has a robust Ph.D. program in different
areas of Life sciences/Biotechnology/Chemical/Pharmaceutical
sciences, directed towards new drug development.
CDRI provides a vibrant academic atmosphere
enabling inter-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary
areas of research to flourish. The R &

Excellent
synthetic organic chemistry/medicinal
chemistry group contributes to all the
above research areas in CDRI
Over the last six
decades, CDRI has built a unique model
for drug research in India -
having everything under one roof,
from synthesis, screening, development
studies, process up-scaling to clinical
studies. Keeping in view of the paradigm
shift in drug R&D approaches in
the last decade, the institute has
upgraded its capabilities and strengths
to match global standards. The major
R&D facilities available at CDRI
include overall S&T base for drug
discovery & development; Molecular
& structural biology equipped
with modern facilities for characterization
of drug targets and elucidation of
mechanism of action; High-throughput
screening; Drug quality control, standardization
and formulation development; Chemical
and fermentation technology development;
Sophisticated Analytical Instrument
Facility equipped with state of the
art analytical equipments; National
centre for pharmacokinetic and metabolic
studies; National facility for regulatory
pharmacology & toxicology; and
Knowledge resource centre for the
scientists and entrepreneurs involved
in biomedical research and pharmaceutical
industry.
CDRI research programs envisage to
rapidly adopt new approaches and technologies
in order to build up its capabilities
in drug discovery, research and development.
The overall scenario is very promising
as the institute have all the expertise,
state of the art facilities, ready
for shift newly constructed state-of-the-art
institute, more than 150 scientists
from a wide range of disciplines,
360 technical staff, more than 450
research scholars, the institute is
poised to deliver new drugs and technologies
in the pursuit of affordable drugs
and healthcare for all. Students will
have ample opportunities to interact
with reputed scientists of the Institute,
other CSIR Laboratories and fraternity
from Lucknow, national and international
laboratories. Students are permitted
to attend the conferences at national
and international platforms.
