Here is a list of major Academic / Biotech Institutes in western India :
UNIVERSITY OF PUNE,
MAHARASHTRA,
PUNE 411 007, INDIA
The
Bioinformatics Centre (DIC) at the University of Pune, Pune provides an up
to-date and an accurate Information in the area of Biotechnology with a
stress on Virology, proteins and nucleic acid sequences And structures,
Microbial strain data and also an access to the other related areas through
networks. Apart from answering the bibliographic queries and supplying the
sequence data, the Centre also offers unique facilities for data analysis.
The hardware, software and the expertise available at this Centre facilitate
the users in every possible way. The Center is equipped with the
state-of-art services and facilities in terms of hardware, software,
information storage and retrieval.
B) NATIONAL CHEMICAL LABORATORY
National
Chemical Laboratory (NCL) is a science and knowledge based research,
development and consulting organization. Established in 1950, NCL is
internationally known for its excellence in scientific research in chemistry
and chemical engineering, and its outstanding track record of
industrial
research involving partnerships with industry from concept to
commercialization.
Mission
NCL
's mission is to advance knowledge and to serve the industry.
Functions
1.
Discover new effects
2.
Understand the underlying science
3.Develop
new processes, products and applications
4.Protect
intellectual property
5.Transfer
skills and technologies to industry.
Set-up
NCL
comprises of nine research divisions covering diverse aspects of chemistry,
chemical engineering and multiple interfaces between Chemistry and biology.
Multidisciplinary projects spanning across seamless laboratories within NCL
give it a special character.
The
People
NCL
's 350 scientists, of whom 200 are Ph.D. with post-doctoral and industrial
experience, constitute a formidable workforce. Many of them, apart from
receiving national and international recognition, have been deeply involved
with industry and also the Indian Government in national level planning.
Some have consulted for industrial firms, in the US, Europe and Japan. Some
have helped in the restructuring of publicly funded research institutions in
other countries, like China and Indonesia.
Catalysis
With
world-class expertise and facilities in synthesis, characterization,
testing, and pilot-plant production of commercial catalysts, NCL is uniquely
placed to develop globally competitive technologies.
Accent
on Chemistry
NCL's
endeavor is to develop green technologies using clean chemistry. One
strategy is to replace hazardous catalysts like hydrofluoric acid and
aluminum chloride. Successful examples are alkylation, isomerization,
etherification, and oligomerization. The other thrust is on oxidation
catalysts like TS-1,2; VS-1,2; Sn-MFI, V-NCL-1 and Fe-zeolites. Solid
chlorination catalysts for cleaner processes for p-chloro-o-xylene and
chloronaphthalenes also fall into this category.
Commercial
successes
NCL's
forays in biotechnology are in tune with the modern-day explosion of
knowledge in this area. The multidisciplinary strength in NCL extends from
microbial transformations in organic syntesis to polymer immobilization of
enzymes. Modern plant biotechnology in NCL's special niche.
Core
competencies
These
lie mainly in four areas: microbial technology, fermentation technology,
plant molecular biology and plant tissue culture.
Globalization
Realizing
that the chain of concept to commercialization extends over transnational
boundaries, today, NCL decided to become a part of the global network.
Today, it has among its clients some of the leading multinationals in the
world. NCL made the first export of technologies of high tech materials from
India to the western world. NCL considers itself a global R&D platform.
Its global interactions are in the from of contract research, joint
development, technology licensing and technical and consultance services.
NCL's services have now been offered both in the developing world and the
developed world. Thus its relationships range from Florafrica in Ivory Coast
to General Electric in USA, and from JPCID in China to ICI in Europe.
National Chemical Laboratory is already being recognized as an International
Chemical Laboratory.
