Workshop on From Concept to Lab Bench
Day 1 – Advanced Formulation Design & Preformulation Science
Focus: Dosage form strategy, excipient selection, and analytical understanding
Session 1: Introduction to Formulation Science
- Role of formulation scientist in product lifecycle
- Types of dosage forms & their design logic
- Route-based formulation choices (oral, topical, parenteral)
Session 2: Excipient Selection & Functional Attributes
- Overview of excipients (binders, disintegrants, gelling agents, emulsifiers)
- Selecting excipients for stability, release, and patient compliance
- Common incompatibilities
Session 3: Preformulation Studies & Analytical Tools
- Solubility, pKa, LogP, partition coefficient
- Solid-state characterization: FTIR, DSC, XRPD, TGA
- Case studies: formulation failure due to poor preformulation
Day 2 – QbD Foundations & Risk-Based Development
Focus: Implementing structured formulation thinking using ICH principles
Session 1: Introduction to QbD & Regulatory Framework
- ICH Q8 to Q11 simplified

Session 2: Evaluation Techniques
- Physical parameters: viscosity, spreadability, pH, etc.
- Chemical: drug content, entrapment efficiency
- Overview of Franz diffusion cell, release testing
Session 3: Scientific Report Writing & Rubrics
- Format of academic/research project reports
- Avoiding plagiarism, referencing styles (APA/Vancouver)
- Faculty rubrics for project grading and viva
Day 5 – Intellectual Property, Patent Filing & Innovation Strategy
Focus: Protecting ideas and turning research into academic innovation
Session 1: Understanding Patents in Pharma
- What is patentable: product, process, delivery system
- Criteria: Novelty, Inventive Step, Industrial Applicability
- Case examples of formulation patents in India
Session 2: Patent Filing Process & Documentation
- Indian patent forms: 1, 2, 3, 5, 18
- How to write a simple patent claim
