  Analytical and characterization SME for anti-diabetic peptide: Worked on structural characterization of proteins and bio-pharmaceuticals in the form of sequencing, impurity characterization, process validation with an objective of establishing bio-similarity for successful filling and launching of anti-diabetic peptide in ROW markets. Provided regulatory support (including sequencing, impurity characterization, process validation and bio-similarity) for successful filling and launching a long acting basal Insulin analogue in regulated markets of Japan,EU and US.Analytical and characterization SME for complex polypeptide: Provided regulatory support(including sequencing, process validation and bio-similarity) for filling ANDA in regulated markets including USA, Canada and successfully launching the product in Uruguay. Design of experiments, executing protocols and activities related to force degradation studies of biopharmaceutical molecules involving biosimilars that assisted in establishing the comparativedegradation across biosimilars and lot-to-lot consistency of the products upon utilization of stateof-art modern chromatographic techniques, high definition Mass spectrometry (ESI-MS)/MALDItechniques but not limited to.Managed the critical role of strategically procuring quality imbibed materials for the smooth functioning of the laboratory.Quality system implementation in the team to develop a quality integrated research platform. Outsource Study Coordinator: Successfully coordinated with different vendors (international as well as domestic) to ensure quality integrated scientific data to be presented to regulators. Show less
