About
I am a Product Development Scientist with over 8 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, specializing in solid and liquid oral dosage forms. My expertise includes pre-formulation, formulation, and process development, working on a wide range of products from oral suspensions to controlled release tablets for ANDA, NDA, and IND projects. I am skilled in drafting CMC sections and regulatory submissions, and I have experience with design control for combination products. I am a self-motivated and fast learner with strong leadership skills.

Projects
To improve solubility and stability of poorly water-soluble drug using Colloidal Silicon dioxide as surface adsorbent in the solid dispersion Technique
It involved evaluating the effect of different ratio of polymer used in solid dispersion on solubilityand enhancing stability of solid dispersion using silicon dioxide (Syloid and Aerosil). It also involved various techniques for the physical characterization of the solid dispersion including Differential Scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction Spectroscopy. The solubility of the solid dispersion was determined by dissolution profiles. The stability of solid dispersion was determined by accelerated stability studies.
