In this video, Prof. Yogita Bansal from Punjabi University, Patiala, shares her thoughts on the university’s collaboration with DNDi India Foundation under the OSN initiative. She highlights how this partnership, established in 2023, has provided students with hands-on training in synthesizing novel compounds for neglected diseases. Through this initiative, undergraduates engage in critical analysis of synthetic methods, reaction mechanisms, and purification techniques—building essential skills for India’s growing drug discovery ecosystem.
