Under the agreement, Boehringer Ingelheim India will enable researchers and faculty at both institutes to access www.opnme.com, the company’s global open science portal. Through opnMe, the same molecules that scientists across the world use to ask new questions in early biology will now be in the hands of NIPER researchers.

NIPER – Ahmedabad and Hyderabad director Dr. Shailendra Saraf said India’s transition from a generics-led to an innovation-led pharmaceutical economy will not be made by any single institution or any single company.

Boehringer Ingelheim India managing director Meenal Gauri said after Raebareli and Hajipur, signing MoU with NIPER Ahmedabad and Hyderabad is a significant commitment.
