EDUCATION

Masters of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences

Aug 2012 to May 2014

Concentration: Industrial Pharmacy

Bachelor of Pharmacy Sep 2008 to

May 2012

Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University,

TRR College of Pharmacy-Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Masters Research Project: . "Effect of storage conditions on

physicochemical properties of MicroceLac 100"

Studied the effect of moisture on tablet forming

ability and powder flowability of co-processed

excipient MicroceLac 100 in GMP environment. The

moisture induced changes in the molecular and

macroscopic properties of MicroceLac 100 indicated

its susceptibility to the storage conditions which

can affect tabletability and flowability. Results

obtained were analysed by multivariate analysis

techniques using The Unscrambler software.

Research Projects: . "Effect of Needle Type on the

Delivery of Insulin by Pens"

It was observed that different needles available on

the market for delivering insulin from insulin pens

were not producing the same dose of the drug. The

amount of insulin delivered from the pen was

determined by a high performance liquid

chromatography (HPLC) method.

Relevant Courses: Scientific Literature Seminars, Industrial Pharmacy

w/lab, Biopharmaceutics, Pharmacokinetics,
