TCG Lifesciences (TCGLS), a global contract research organisation (CRO) and CDMO company with operations in Kolkata, Hyderabad, Richmond, VA, and Princeton, NJ, has opened a new R&D facility in Pune, as part of a major expansion.
Pune with its proximity to Mumbai and Gujarat offers a great ecosystem of talents, scientific institutions, and relevant industry players which TCGLS plans to leverage to build a major presence there. It is taking up approximately 100,000 sq ft of space to build a comprehensive discovery services centre.
Starting with an efficient team of chemists and support personnel in July 2022, TCGLS foresees the ability to accommodate a sizeable batch of chemists, biologists, and formulation scientists in the coming years. It is also looking at opportunities in speciality chemicals and polymer sciences activities in line with its parent company, The Chatterjee Group's investments in those domains.
The labs are equipped with automation devices, safety instrumentation, and regular and walk-in fume hoods. It is supported by general access to scientific journals/databases, IT systems with secured networks, human resource officers, and best practices in safety and supply chain.
