Abstract

A fluid dialogue between university (and other research centres) and the Catalan chemical companies emerges as an inescapable social demand. Knowledge transfer from public research centres should improve the international competitiveness of our chemical industry. Among the various forms of collaboration, the industrial doctorates have recently gained relevance. This article covers the basic features of these doctorates, as well as the experience of our research group in this field and specially the development of a new industrial synthesis of entecavir, a potent drug against hepatitis B.

Keywords: Industrial doctorate, chemical industry, entecavir, hepatitis B.
