Historical significance

The Pharmaceutical Research Institute was established on 1 January 1950.  The designated aim of the Berlin Road complex completed in 1964 was to centralise the numerous branches of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute scattered across various locations. In addition to the chemistry, biology, pharmacology and toxicology laboratories the administrative centre had been completed to include a library and a canteen as well. The park built within the complex was designed for the comfort and wellbeing of the employees.

By the middle of the 1970s international standard research capacities had been established at the Institute equipped with all units required for pharmaceutical production.
During its 50 years of existence the Pharmaceutical Research Institute formerly occupying the area achieved professional success in a number of ways including:

• 12 drugs containing original API (active pharmaceutical ingredients) developed and introduced onto the market
• more than 50 out of the 70 generic pharmaceutical ingredients developed by the Institute approved for industrial purposes
• more than 2,000 publications resulting from scientific achievements
• over 4,000 patents registered as a result of research activities
