Eurofins Advinus is manufactures of drugs and support Toxicology and clinical studies and it serves diverse industries such as Biotech, Pharmaceutical, Biological, Agrochemical and Cosmetic. Eurofins Advinus is the only contract research organization (CRO) in India to have developed data in support of 90+end-to-end IND enabling packages to be submitted to global regulators. Following the official introduction, a brief presentation about the history and operations was given. In order to facilitate better understanding, the students were divided into three groups, each of which was accompanied by a guide. The students were then brought to various labs, such as the toxicology, biology, and chemistry departments, where the heads of each department gave a thorough explanation of their roles in the various testing phases. Students had a chance to view a variety of instruments, including an NMR spectrometer, an HPLC, a GC, an ICPMS, and more.
Centre for Nanoscience and Engineering (CeNSE), department in IISc, was visited in the afternoon. The research center mainly concentrates on fabrication and characterisations of nanoscale systems. The center focuses on nanoelectronics, MEMS/NEMS, nanomaterials and devices, photonics, nano-biotechnology, solar cells and computational nano-engineering. CeNSE houses a state-of-the art national nanofabrication centre (NNfC) with 14000 square feet of class 100/1000 clean room. It also houses a comprehensive micro nano characterization facility (MNCF) to conduct virtually any type of electrical, optical, mechanical and material characterization. Students were able to visit both the labs and got valuable insights about the fabrication and characterisation of nanomaterials and its applications.
