फ्लॉवरच्या टाकाऊ भागापासून बनवले ‘इको-फ्रेंडली’ पॉलिमर; अंतिम फेरीसाठी निवड
सावर्डे (प्रतिनिधी):
मुंबई विद्यापीठातर्फे आयोजित करण्यात आलेल्या २० व्या ‘आविष्कार’ आंतर-महाविद्यालयीन संशोधन स्पर्धेत (विभागीय फेरी) सावर्डे येथील गोविंदराव निकम कॉलेज ऑफ फार्मसीच्या विद्यार्थ्यांनी आपल्या संशोधन कौशल्याची चुणूक दाखवत यश संपादन केले आहे. दिनांक २० डिसेंबर २०२५ रोजी पार पडलेल्या या स्पर्धेत महाविद्यालयाच्या अभिनव प्रकल्पाची अंतिम फेरीत (पोडियम राऊंड) निवड झाली आहे.
महाविद्यालयाच्या कु. जुई पाटील आणि कु. भूमी कांबळे या विद्यार्थिनींनी प्रा. सुकन्या पाटील यांच्या मार्गदर्शनाखाली “फ्लॉवरच्या टाकाऊ भागापासून सेल्युलोज: सिंथेटिक पॉलिमरला एक हरित पर्याय” (Cauliflower Waste Derived Cellulose: A greener Alternative to synthetic Polymers) हा संशोधन प्रकल्प सादर केला होता. या प्रकल्पाने विभागीय फेरी आणि अंतिम (पोस्टर) फेरी यशस्वीरित्या पार करत आता अंतिम (पोडियम) फेरीसाठी पात्रता मिळवली आहे.
प्रकल्पाचे वैशिष्ट्य:
हा प्रकल्प पूर्णपणे ‘झिरो वेस्ट स्ट्रॅटेजी’वर (Zero Waste Strategy) आधारित आहे. यात फ्लॉवरच्या (कॉलिफ्लॉवर) शेतातील वाया जाणाऱ्या आणि प्रदूषण वाढवणाऱ्या अवशेषांचा वापर करून उपयुक्त पॉलिमर तयार करण्यात आले आहे. विशेष म्हणजे या प्रक्रियेत रसायनांचा वापर अत्यंत कमी असल्याने हा प्रकल्प किफायतशीर आहे. यामुळे भविष्यात शेतकऱ्यांना यातून उत्पन्नाचे नवीन साधन मिळून ते उद्योजक बनू शकतात, असा विश्वास संशोधक विद्यार्थ्यांनी व्यक्त केला.

Title: Generative AI and Machine Learning in Drug Discovery
Authors: Gaurav Palsamkar, Aditya Gurav
Journal: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
This review highlights how Generative AI and Machine Learning are modernizing the drug discovery process. The authors explain how advanced tools such as Graph Neural Networks, GANs, VAEs, LLMs, and AlphaFold greatly improve target identification, virtual screening, molecule design, and toxicity prediction—tasks that traditionally require years and high financial investment.
The article also discusses real-world industry examples where AI-designed molecules have progressed to clinical stages, proving the practical impact of these technologies. While challenges like data quality, explainability, and regulatory acceptance still exist, the paper concludes that AI-driven platforms are set to make drug discovery faster, more cost-effective, and more accurate in the coming years.
