Technology Development

Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine is one of the few institutes of the country where we have strong R&D interface in the areas of botanical sciences, natural product chemistry, pharmacology with a strong instrumentation support under the same roof. In addition, there is a multipurpose pilot plant for process development for the extraction of plant based materials, isolation of bioactive products and fermentation technology. Hence most of the technologies developed and passed on to industry belong to these areas. Some of the industrial partners of this institute are multinational companies of repute such as Colgate Palmolive, USA; Procter & Gamble, USA; Sigma, USA; Chromodex, USA; Tropical Botanics, Malaysia; Nicholas Piramal, Mumbai; Ranbaxy Laboratories, Gurgaon; Lupin Limited, Pune; Bharat Biotech, Hyderabad; Prathista Industries, Secunderabad; Genova Biotechniques, Hyderabad and many others. IIIM, Jammu has also bagged the CSIR Technology Award for the transfer of technology to Prathista Industries, Secunderabad on the production of metal gluconates. Some of the important technology transfers and fruitful collaborations have been listed below:
