CPRI is the Institute’s chemistry vertical engaged in addressing the industry’s chemical research and innovation needs, with the main thrust areas being process R&D and medicinal chemistry. CPRI is engaged in addressing chemical research and innovation needs of the industry. Process research involves the identification and development of novel synthetic routes that targets sustainability through simplicity with potential for IP generation. Chemical industry needs are met not only by de novo approaches, but also through evolution of synthetic routes through a continuous process of incremental improvement and gradual simplification of the existing chemical processes. In process development, an existing process is optimized to meet specific requirements of industry and the know-how transferred. Research activity in CPRI is supported by Industry.
