Biography

I am an accomplished Analytical Scientist with 14 years of extensive experience in analytical chemistry, specializing in the development, validation, and characterization of pharmaceutical drug substances, drug products, and discovery compounds using advanced analytical platforms such as UPLC, HPLC, LCMS, GC, UV, DSC, and FTIR. Over the past decade, I have operated within FDA-regulated R&D environments, ensuring full compliance with regulatory requirements for IND, NDA, 505(b)(2), and ANDA submissions. I play a key role in supporting Quality Risk Management (QRM) activities across internal development programs and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs), driving the implementation of effective risk mitigation strategies in alignment with global regulatory expectations. My responsibilities include identifying and resolving technical gaps, providing strategic scientific guidance during formulation and process development, and leading cross-functional teams to achieve project milestones within defined timelines. In addition, I possess strong leadership and vendor management capabilities and actively contribute to the scientific community through research publications and peer reviews, demonstrating a sustained commitment to advancing pharmaceutical science and innovation.
