The Indian Chitin and Chitosan Society was formed in 2010 with the key aspiration for the development and promotion of technologies based on chitin/chitosan on an International scale in order to promote translational research. It is also aimed to bring out scientists/researchers working in different aspects of chitin and chitosan and its application in a common platform to promote the usage of their biopolymer and to provide the opportunity to network complement and share their expertise. In this connection, the Indian Chitin and Chitosan Society has conducted nine symposia so far and this year it is organizing its 10th Symposium to share the knowledge and expertise among the scientific peer groups.
NIPER Kolkata is an autonomous institute established in the year 2007 under the aegis of the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, Govt. of India as an Institute of National Importance for Higher Education, Research and Development in Pharmaceutical Sciences. The institute is constantly striving to contribute to the promotion of the pharmaceutical industry in India, encourage scholars innovations, and bring synergy between academia and Industry.
