The pharmaceutical industry has been desperately searching for efficient drug discovery methods. Organ-on-a-Chip, a cutting-edge technology that can emulate the physiological environment and functionality of human organs on a chip for disease modeling and drug testing, shows great potential in revolutionizing the drug development pipeline. However, successful translation of this novel engineering platform into routine pharmacological and medical scenarios remains to be realized. This review discusses how the Organ-on-a-Chip technology can play critical roles at different preclinical stages of drug development and highlights the current challenges in translation and commercialization of this technology for the pharmacological and medical end-users. Moreover, this review sheds light on the future developmental trends and need for a next-generation Organ-on-a-Chip platform to bridge the gap between animal studies and clinical trials for the pharmaceutical industry

The Indian biotechnology industry is one of the fastest growing knowledge based sectors.
India currently ranks amongst the top 12 biotechnology destinations in the world, and is a
global leader in the production of drugs and vaccines. For an economy like India,
biotechnology is a powerful enabling technology that can revolutionize agriculture,
healthcare, industrial processing and environmental sustainability. According to a forecast by
the Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises (ABLE), the Indian biotechnology industry
sector has the potential to be $ 100 billion (Rs. 6 lakh crore) industry in the next decade.
The Indian biotechnology industry can be broadly classified into five categories namely
biopharmaceuticals, bioagriculture, bioservices, bioindustry and bioinformatics. There are
approximately 800 – 850 large, medium, small and startup companies in the biotechnology
and allied sectors. Within the different sectors in biotechnology, there are multiple disciplines
which are huge specialties on their own.
• Biopharma – Drugs, vaccines, diagnostics
• Bioindustrial – Biofuels, nutraceuticals, enzymes
• Bioagri – Hybrid crops, biopesticides, biofertilizers
• Bioservices – custom synthesis & manufacturing and contract research
• Bioinformatics – data analytics and software and database services.
