Strengthening Academia–Industry Collaboration through Knowledge Exchange

The Institute of Pharmacy, Nirma University, in collaboration with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and Chromachemie, successfully hosted a one-day event, “Impurity Insights,” on 14 August 2026, with the theme “Risks of Non-Compliance: Managing Impurity Control and Reference Standard Challenges.”

The event brought together pharmaceutical professionals from Quality Control, Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, and Pharmaceutical Sciences to interact with USP experts and gain valuable insights into impurity control, regulatory compliance, and reference standard management.

The programme highlighted the importance of academia–industry partnerships in bridging the gap between academic knowledge and industrial practices, while fostering knowledge exchange, professional development, research opportunities, and industry-relevant education.

We sincerely thank the USP team—Dr. Mrunal Jaywant, Ph.D., Ms. Varsha Gowal, Dr. Christian Zeine, and Mr. Amit Mukherjee—for sharing their expertise.

Special thanks to Mr. Ajey S. Rao and the entire Chromachemie Laboratory Private Limited team for their continued support in strengthening this collaboration.

We also acknowledge the valuable support of Dr. Priti Mehta, Dr. Nrupesh Patel, Dr. Misari Patel, and the research scholar team for making the event a success.

Together, let us continue to build stronger bridges between academia and industry for knowledge, innovation, and professional excellence.
