Capabilities / R&D

The core scientific engine
of Symbio.

Our Bangalore R&D Centre drives new product development, process innovation, analytical development and technology transfer across the organisation.

It brings synthetic chemistry, analytical capability and specialised research together under one roof.

Process development

Routes that hold up in manufacturing.

Route scouting and non-infringing process design

Yield, selectivity and reproducibility optimisation

Impurity control and process understanding

Multi-step synthetic chemistry

Biocatalysis and enzyme-led transformations

Manufacturability considered early

Green process design focused on efficiency and waste minimisation

Kilo-lab and pilot demonstration

Analytical development

Analytics that develop with the chemistry.

Analytical development runs alongside process development, helping us understand the molecule and the process rather than simply test the final material.

Our analytical work supports development from early route evaluation through technology transfer and regulatory documentation.

This work stays closely connected to process chemistry so that analytical understanding develops with the programme rather than being added at the end.

Current capability

  • Analytical method development and validation
  • Impurity profiling and characterisation
  • Process understanding and in-process analytical support
  • Stability support
  • Method transfer
  • Regulatory-ready analytical documentation

// Technical continuity

From development into manufacturing.

The scientists who understand the route remain close as the programme moves into manufacturing, helping preserve process understanding and accelerate troubleshooting during technology transfer.
