Dr. Priyanka Bandivadekar

Assistant Professor
Pharmacognosy


My research focuses on synthetic organic and pharmaceutical chemistry, with particular emphasis on green and sustainable chemical synthesis, catalytic process development, and pharmaceutical process chemistry. The research interests include developing eco-friendly, efficient catalytic methodologies; heterocyclic chemistry; synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs); impurity profiling, synthesis, and characterization of pharmaceutical compounds; reaction optimization; and process intensification. I also have the ability in flow chemistry, scale-up of pharmaceutical processes, and solvent-free and waste-minimizing synthetic approaches for API synthesis.
Organic synthesis reactions for API intermediates and Impurity synthesis.
