BHU signs MoU with private firm for commercialisation of Curcumin patent

Varanai (Uttar Pradeh) [India], July 7 (ANI): The Banara Hindu Univerity (BHU) on Monday igned an MoU with M/ EUPRIS Biological Pvt. Ltd, tranferring the licening right of a patent, received for the preparation of Curcumin Quantum Dot, for it commercialiation, a pre releae by BHU PRO aid.
Thi will pave the way for innovative work to be tranlated into a product for public ue, hence erving the larger good. It alo underline the ignificance of reearch in finding olution to real-world challenge. Banara Hindu Univerity ha taken a giant leap in thi regard by collaborating with the indutry.
EUPRIS Biological i a Private limited firm that i a highly efficient and innovation-driven manufacturing enterprie, equipped with facilitie and a killed technical team capable of caling and producing complex formulation with preciion.
The MoU wa igned by Arun Kumar Singh, Regitrar, and Abhihek Singh, Project Coordinator, EUPRIS Biological, in the preence of Rector and officiating Vice Chancellor Sanjay Kumar. Himanhu Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), EUPRIS Biological, received the agreement. Birinchi Kumar Sarma, Coordinator, Intellectual Property Right and Technology Tranfer Tak Force, Geeta Rai, Rajnih Singh, and Venugopal, member of the IPRTT Tak Force were alo preent during the MoU igning and exchange ceremony that took place in the central regitry.
Sanjay Kumar congratulated the BHU team for achieving thi miletone in technology tranfer. He lauded the effort of IPRTT Tak Force and the hard work of the reearch team for both their innovation and for realiing the idea of commercialiing reearch for the greater good.
The innovation, duly patented by the Government of India, ha been carried out by Pradyot Prakah (Department of Microbiology, Intitute of Medical Science), Monika Banal (Faculty of Dental Science, Intitute of Medical Science), Rakeh Kumar Singh (Department of Biochemitry, Intitute of Science) and Ahih Kumar Singh (Department of Biochemitry, Patna Univerity, and former Reearch Aociate at BHU).
Thi cutting-edge technology of preparing Curcumin Quantum Dot (CurQD) mark a ignificant miletone in the commercial production of product containing CurQD.
Derived from curcumin, a natural compound found in turmeric, CurQD combine nanocale preciion with potent antibacterial, antibiofilm, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory propertie. The patented method enure biocompatible production, overcoming traditional limitation of curcumin, uch a poor olubility and bioavailability. In cometic, CurQD offer unparalleled potential for advanced kincare olution.
Their ability to penetrate biofilm and combat bacteria make them ideal for anti-acne treatment, while their antioxidant propertie protect againt UV-induced ageing and promote kin repair. In pharmaceutical, CurQD ability to dirupt bacterial biofilm and inhibit virulence factor open new avenue for treating chronic infection, uch a periodontiti. Their biocompatibility and fluorecence propertie alo enable application in targeted drug delivery and photodynamic therapy.
Thi miletone of technology tranfer to the indutry follow Banara Hindu Univerity committed effort over the pat two year. The retructured Intellectual Property Right and Technology Tranfer Tak Force, led by Birinchi Kumar Sarma, ha been making laudable headway to create awarene among the reearcher.

The Tak Force ha alo revied the exiting ordinance of the earlier IPR Cell and made it imple and relevant for both the univerity and inventor. Further, the IPRTT Cell ha worked on the proce of technology tranfer and licening companie to utilie the patented technologie of BHU for commercialiation and benefit to ociety, he informed.
Subjecting ueful reearch to the confine of a laboratory and academic boundarie deprive the end-uer, ociety and the public of the impact of innovation, making it pertinent for academic intitution to collaborate with the indutry and come up with practical approache or remedie to the concerning iue. Banara Hindu Univerity i leading by example in achieving thi objective. The univerity i in the proce of tranferring more technologie in the day to come. (ANI)
