RESEARCH CENTRE - GOA

Unichem’s Research & Development (R&D) efforts are driven by its Pharma Technology Development Centre (PTDC) in Goa. Its location, in the same premises as the company’s Goa pharmaceutical plant, ensures that technology transfer, testing and roll-out of new products and processes is seamless.

Focus

PTDC’s major thrust area is in the development of generic formulations comprising Immediate Release as well as Novel Drug Delivery Systems (NDDS) and Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) for the international market. The facility has been equipped to handle the development of formulations for New Chemical Entities (NCEs).

Capabilities

The PTDC facility has a team of highly result-oriented scientists leading the research efforts with expertise in a wide range of areas including NCEs. It is a self-contained product development laboratory that meets current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements. It is fully equipped to conduct pre-formulation studies, prototype development, scale-up & optimization and technology transfer of oral solid dosage forms.

The developmental activities are supported by a proficient Analytical Research Development team and a well-equipped laboratory,

In addition, the PTDC has the capability to develop a platform technology whereby different molecules can be processed for their controlled rate of release.

With an ideal synergy of high-end technology and superior expertise, PTDC is set to play a pivotal role in Unichem’s R&D efforts.
