with lyophilized antigen)

Sustained release biodegradable injectable formulations (In Situ Implant)

Immediate release and sustained release solid dosage forms (tablet, capsule)

Professional Skills

1. More than five years’ experience in development of vaccine formulation and

vaccine delivery system. (My PhD project)

2. From 2009 to 2013, worked as an instructor teaching granulation and tablet

compress in the highly popular “Hands-on Course in Tablet Technology” hosted

by the University of Tennessee. As the only hands-on course in tablet technology

in the United States, it has trained more than 2,000 professionals in

pharmaceutical industry and regulatory agencies from 13 countries since 1998.

3. Certificates from University of Tennessee: “Hands-On Course in Aseptic

Processing” and “Hands-on Course in Tablet Technology”

4. Preformulation studies, granulation for solid dosage forms (high shear

granulation, extrusion-spheronization, hot-melt granulation, fluid bed granulation

and roller compaction), tableting, coating (pan coating and fluid bed coating),

spray dry, dissolution and disintegration tests, development of analytical methods,

such as HPLC and NIR.

5. Techniques for bacterial culture and cell culture of primary human & mammalian

cells and cell lines.

6. Molecular biology techniques

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).

Extraction of DNA, RNA from bacteria and mammalian cells

Gel electrophoresis (agarose, polyacrylamide, SDS-PAGE)

Real-time PCR

Transfection of DNA into mammalian cells

7. Protein analysis assay such as Western blot, Immunoprecipitation, pull down

assay

8. Morphological techniques such as immunofluorescent and immunohistochemistry

staining, light microscopy, fluorescent microscopy and confocal microscopy

9. Software usage such as Microsoft word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Powerpoint,

statistical analysis software (SAS)
