The University Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the Panjab University is a premier institution of Pharmaceutical Education and Research in the country. The institute has covered a long and glorious journey of 76 years starting from Lahore in 1944 and finally settling to the present campus in Chandigarh at the foothills of Himachal. In its travelogue, the institute crossed multiple milestones and continue to head ahead towards the well-defined goals. The elevation of the status from department to the level of an institute i.e. University Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences in 1994, and hosting of Indian Pharmaceutical Congress in the same year, two presidential honors of the Indian Pharmaceutical Congresses to its faculty members, a special recognition by the UGC by granting SAP in 1993 and COSIST in 1981 establishment of ICMR Advanced Centre for standardization of Drugs of Indian System of Medicine are some of the major hallmarks on the path treaded so far.

ABSTRACT
Malaria is a lifestyle-threatening tropical disorder, due to the intracellular parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The sector health employer counts malaria as one of the pinnacle ten reasons of worldwide demise. The unavailability of a successful malaria vaccine and the ever-increasing times of drug resistance in the malaria parasite call for the invention of new targets inside P. falciparum for the development of next generation antimalarial drug. Fortuitously, all apicomplexan parasites, along with P. falciparum harbor a relict, non-photosynthetic plastid referred to as the apicoplast. The apicoplast is a semi-self-sustaining organelle within P. falciparum, containing a 35 kb circular genome. Notwithstanding a genome of its own, majority of the apicoplast proteins are encoded by means of the parasite nucleus and imported into the apicoplast. The organelle has been proven to be vital to P. falciparum survival and the loss the apicoplast manifests as a ‘not on time loss of life’ response in the parasite. The apicoplast has advanced out of cyanobacteria in a complicated, two step endosymbiotic event. As a result, the architecture and the gene expression machinery of the apicoplast is pretty bacteria-like and is at risk of a wide variety of antibiotics consisting of fosmidomycin, tetracycline, azithromycin, clindamycin and triclosan. The biosynthetic pathways for isoprenoids, fatty acids and heme function within the malaria apicoplast, making the organelle a top notch goal for drug development. This review specializes in the evolution, biology and the essentiality of the apicoplast inside the malaria parasite and discusses a number of the current achievements toward the layout and discovery of apicoplast focused antimalarial drug.

Center of Innovative and Applied Bioprocessing (CIAB) is an autonomous national institute under Department of Biotechnology (Govt. of India). This futuristic innovation institute of its own kind in the country has a mission of advancing knowledge, leads and emerging technologies/processes relevant to agri-food sector towards applications and products. It aims to link them with societal benefits through catalysing/promoting entrepreneurial action around bioprocesses, bio-products, value-addition to bioproducts etc. with special reference to the agrifood sector. Currently, the four major mandated R&D areas in hand at the institute are (A) Value Addition to Primary Processing Residues/ Wastes for Edible Products; (B) Valorisation of Crop Waste for Speciality Products and Chemicals; (C) Nutritionals, nutraceuticals and upgradation of value or use of bio-products, (D) Biosynthetic technology/synthetic biology for low volume-high value products and industrial enzymes. To support and steer this mission, the institute requires following temporary research positions on stipendary / fellowship basis:
