Doctoral Student

• Sep 2013 - Dec 2018

I have worked in the area of formulation development for topical and transdermal drug delivery. Major project goals achieved are as follow:# Developed and characterized nanocarrier based topical dermatological formulations of poorly water soluble drugs used in different dermatological conditions.# The developed formulations were evaluated for cutaneous delivery and biodistribution studies were performed in vitro using porcine and human skin models. # The distribution of drugs in different skin layers were studies by HPLC-UV and UPLC-MS/MS methods.# Writing study plans, research proposals for grants and SOPs for lab functioning.# Managing instruments for their smooth functioning.

Junior Research Fellow

• Aug 2011 - Jul 2013

I have worked as Junior Research Fellow (JRF) at department of Medicinal Chemistry, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), S.A.S.Nagar, on a project funded by Department of Science and technology (DST), Govt. of India. The roles and responsibilities were as follow: # To develop novel synthetic methodology for synthesis of small heterocyclic molecules. # To purify and perform detailed characterization using analytical techniques (NMR, IR, MS, GC-MS, HPLC-UV). # In collaboration with external research collaborators perform biological evaluation of synthesised compounds. # Writing manuscripts and project reports. # Involved in purchase and setup of new instruments.
