Bioequivalence Study Centre

The B.E. Centre had been carrying out Bioequivalence study most satisfactorily since 2002 being approved by DCGI Oct-2002.

Research

We had been doing research in the field of controlled release drug delivery system since last 15 years. As a result 20 students have been awarded PhD and the research outcome has been highly appreciated in leading journals of India and abroad.

The following two achievements are worth mentioning in this regard :

1. Development of controlled release contraceptive device (patent application filed)

2. Development of Oral Insulin under process of collaboration with a multinational Biotech Industry.
