Over the last six decades, CSIR-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. Taking a clue from globalization and paradigm shift in R&D approaches in last couple of decades, Institute is incessantly upgrading its facilities and integrating novel approaches in its new drug R&D and biomedical research. Modernization has resulted in the increase in the number of collaborations with world class academic & research institutions and Pharma companies, as well as cut down the cost and time of drug discovery and development. In continuation to the modernization program, a new world class drug research laboratory equipped with all the modern facilities and modalities as per the national and international regulatory guidelines has been built, which is to be occupied by Institute researchers very shortly. Institute collaborates with Pharma industries/academic institutions/funding agencies for development of new drugs, drug targets, new pharmaceutical technologies and new models. Some of the opportunities available are as follows:
