      My internship at Biocon Pvt. Ld. involved purification and characterization of a biosimilar product " Glargine", an insulin analog using a combination of chromatography techniques. This involved size exclusion chromatography, Ion exchange chromatography, Immobilized metal affinity chromatography, and High-performance liquid chromatography. My internship at Biocon Pvt.
