Online Certificate on IPR & pharmaceutical R&D By FICCI

About Us

Established in 1927, FICCI is the largest and oldest apex business organisation in India. Its history is closely interwoven with India's struggle for independence, its industrialization, and its emergence as one of the most rapidly growing global economies. A non-government, not-for-profit organisation, FICCI is the voice of India's business and industry.
About The Course
The pharmaceutical industry always has unusual prominence in the debates about intellectual property rights. The pharma sector has served as the front line for the national and international controversies about the relationship between IP, R&D incentives, pricing and access to medicines for underprivileged section of the society.

IPRs (particularly patent rights), are generally understood to have two principal areas of impact in pharmaceuticals. On one hand, there is the issue of pricing and access and on the other hand, there is the issue of R&D incentives. Obviously, these two issues are closely linked, and their interplay presents a series of very difficult economic and policy issues.

Pharmaceutical industry is a research based industry and requires qualified research scientists in huge numbers every year. The growing pharma R&D operations make it very essential that IP concepts and laws must be learned by the pharmacy graduate/post graduate students, pharma professionals and those in research.

The current academic syllabus of most of the pharmacy courses do not provide adequate knowledge about the research activities in the pharma industry, the business models of innovator & generic companies and the interplay of IPRs in the entire pharma R&D ecosystem. This course is aimed to fulfill these gaps and is uniquely designed for the pharmacy students, professionals and scientists working in the pharma industry so that they can learn the essentials and can better advance in their careers.

Course Methodology

The course is conducted in two stages:

Stage 1: Study Material will be provided to Students along with a FORUM to enable participants to raise queries and also to interact with other participants. The queries raised by participants would be responded by IPR Experts.

Stage 2: Online Examination and Issue of Certificate.

Webinars/Online Lectures

Webinars and online lectures will be delivered by senior industry experts and academicians from India's premier institutes.

Eligibility

Law students desirous of specializing in IPR and Pharmaceutical R &D.

Methanol Fuel - Clean and Green Economy


India currently consumes around 30 billion liters of petrol and 90 billion liters diesel per year and is expected to become the third largest consumer by 2030. Import bill on crude accounts for almost 95 billion USD along with almost 30% of Green House Gas emissions coming from automobiles. To curb the alarming situations India is focused on employing methanol as an alternative fuel that would reduce the import bill by 15% by the year 2022.India by adopting Methanol can replace both petrol and diesel in the transport sector and provide an indigenous fuel at the cost of approximately Rs 19 per liter, which is at least 30% lower than any other available fuel. Methanol as a fuel can result in great environmental benefits and can be the answer to the burning urban pollution problem. Methanol is a clean fuel with almost zero pollution as it produces no particulate matter, no soot, almost no SOX and NOX emissions. Apart from transportation fuel methanol can replace LPG, wood, kerosene as cooking fuel and electricity with methanol based hybrid electric mobility units fuel by methanol.
Most of the countries worldwide are using methanol. Almost 9% of transport fuel in countries like China, Israel and Italy has adopted the 15% blending program with petrol.  Japan and Korea have extensive Methanol & DME usage and Australia has adopted GEM fuels (Gasoline, Ethanol & Methanol) and blends. Methanol production in India is currently from imported natural gas which makes it expensive and the production sustainability is dependent on the global imports. Instead employing an indigenous coal to methanol technology would enable us to utilize the largely available coal reserves in our country and also reduce our dependency on imports.
The economic viability and sustainability can be achieved by using renewable feed stocks like biomass/municipal solid waste and flared natural gas apart from using coal. Methanol production from atmospheric CO2 is observed to garner focus worldwide as it has the potential to provide an enduring solution to both atmospheric pollution and natural reserves depletion.
India government will be coming with a new policy which would make 15% blending of methanol in petrol. National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog has chalked out a plan to utilize the abundantly available coal reserves to begin producing methanol indigenously using the well-known coal to methanol technology. The NITI Aayog has assessed that a 15,000-tonne-per-day coal-to- methanol unit will be enough to meet the initial target set by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi of reducing crude oil import dependence by 10 per cent by 2022. Dr VK Saraswat, Member, NITI Aayog, said, “The 15,000-tonne-per-day plant will cost ₹9,000-₹10,000 crore to gasify coal and convert to methanol. This will be enough to meet the initial target of a 10 per cent cut in crude oil import dependence by 2020.”  It has suggested the establishment of commercial plants with 1600 T/day capacity would be produce methanol at a comparable price of methanol being imported.
Establishing commercial plants for methanol production from various feed stocks apart from coal will further boost the ‘Make in India’ program by both reducing the import dependency and capacity-building associated with skill development, young entrepreneurial startups and green jobs. The methanol economy can be readily implemented as the coal reserves are abundant and the conversion technology is available making in economical in the present day. Whereas, in the case of hydrogen economy there are still issues concerned with transportation, storage and production, however, it would be the future fuel when coal reserves deplete.

Scientists find human antibody that may prevent malaria infection

Scientists have found a human antibody that prevented malaria infection in mice by binding a protein found in almost all the strains of the parasite worldwide.
The human antibody was isolated from a protected subject who received an experimental vaccine containing whole, weakened malaria parasites.
The paired findings - of both the antibody and the site it targets on the surface protein - could open new pathways to malaria prevention, researchers at the National Institutes of Health in the US.
The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, shows that the antibody, called CIS43, protects against malaria better than any antibody that has been described before.
If shown to be effective in humans, the antibody could be given to people directly and potentially protect them from malaria for up to six months, said Marie Pancera from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Preventive malaria drugs available now must be taken daily, researchers said.
What especially interests Pancera is whether researchers could use the unique binding site identified in the study, on the surface protein known as circumsporozoite protein, or CSP, to design a vaccine that could tickle the immune system to produce such antibodies.
Malaria kills about 445,000 people a year, mostly young children in sub-Saharan Africa, and sickens more than 200 million, researchers said.
It is caused by the Plasmodium parasite and spread to humans through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito.
About half the worlds population live in areas that put them at risk of infection and the huge social and economic burden that entails.
