Celebrating National Innovation Day at MET IOP (Degree)!

In honor of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s birth anniversary, MET Institute Of Pharmacy (Degree)’s Institutional Innovation Council hosted a dynamic panel discussion on innovation in formulation development—an essential area in today’s pharmaceutical landscape.

Esteemed panelists, including Dr. Ashok Omray (Pharmaceutical & Academic Advisor), Mrs. Pooja Upadhyay Banbakode (GM, Technical Business Development, Mandar Organics Pvt. Ltd.), and Mr. Vinay Jain (Manager, Formulation Development, Evonik Industries), shared their expertise. Moderated by Mrs. Vrushali Keer, the session bridged the gap between academia and industry, encouraging students to think beyond boundaries.

The discussion delved into theoretical and practical approaches to formulation processes, adherence to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and regulatory guidelines, lab-scale innovation vs. commercial production, and the importance of natural sources and larger molecules like mAbs, proteins, and biosimilars in current industry trends.

This enriching session inspired students to explore new horizons in formulation development and innovate solutions for real-world challenges!
