PU files patents for green nanoplatform in skincare and pharma
Chandigarh: Panjab University has filed Indian and international patents for a new green nanomicelle platform developed by Professor Indu Pal Kaur and her PhD scholars Bakr Ahmed and Simrandeep Kaur. The solvent-free, eco-friendly technology enables targeted delivery of sensitive bioactives such as peptides, herbal extracts, cannabinoids, vitamins, proteins, and small molecules. These components have applications in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, paediatrics, veterinary care, and wellness products. The platform is scalable and designed for clean-label processes, with formulations developed at room temperature. Minimal use of USFDA-approved solvents is allowed to accommodate poorly soluble actives without compromising safety or scalability. The technology has already been transferred to an industrial partner for skincare and cosmetics applications, marking a key step in academia-industry collaboration. Professor Indu Pal Kaur, who leads the IPK Lab at Panjab University, described the innovation as affordable and adaptable, supporting both MSMEs and global companies in developing safe and sustainable products. Her lab focuses on turning research challenges into practical solutions, with a strong emphasis on long-term partnerships and technology transfer. The university's Centre for Industry-Institute Partnership Programme, established in 1996, plays a vital role in fostering innovation through revenue-sharing models between faculty and the institution. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Panjab University vice-chancellor Renu Vig said the university takes pride in translating research into industry-relevant innovations that improve lives and enhance its academic reputation.
