Quantum Computing and Phytochemistry Research Lab - Bannari Amman Institute of Technology

QCPRL is a multidisciplinary research laboratory which focuses on the pathway to develop lead compounds through reverse pharmacology approach. It caters the needs of academicians, researchers and society through the development of sustainable methods in science. The objective of laboratory is to provide a platform by contributing towards inculcating a healthy and coexistent learning ambiance for B.E/B.Tech/Ph.D students through faculty initiatives, guest lecture and projects exchange revolutionary ideas through conference, workshop and seminars. information and technology sharing through M.Sc projects and consultancy activities.The members of faculty and students of QCPRL publishes in international peer reviewed journals and files national patents periodically. The laboratory evolved through funding received from DST – SERB for an amount of Rs 15.88 lakhs for the project to explore the radical scavenging behavior of organic compounds separated form medicinal plants of Western Ghats during 2016 -2020. QCPRL is equipped with required facility to carry out computational analysis in DFT using Gaussian 16, Phytochemical analysis and development of novel composite natural dyes.
