Research Strategy - Innovative Sourcing of Leads

The second element of NPIL’s R&D vision and strategy is to leverage India’s bio-diversity and vast pool of knowledge in traditional medicinal systems such as Ayurveda to source for drug lead molecules. NPIL can boast of a unique and diverse collection of Natural Products extracts from microbes and plants from rare habitats in India. Discovery efforts are also directed towards evaluating and investigating medicinal extracts and preparations from herbs and plants practiced by tribals and cited in ancient Ayurvedic texts, and bring herbal medication to the world, by applying modern science and clinical validation techniques.
