What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in drug development and values scientific collaboration.

I am a dedicated Principal Scientist with over 12 years of experience in novel drug development, particularly in oncology and immuno-oncology. My journey began with a Doctorate in Pharmacology from the University of Delhi, where I developed a strong foundation in drug discovery and clinical application. Currently, I lead research initiatives at Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, focusing on solid cancers such as lung, colon, and pancreatic cancers.

Throughout my career, I have successfully bridged scientific knowledge with clinical applications, contributing to trial design and medical strategy. My expertise extends to preclinical and clinical experiment design, scientific writing, and data analysis. I have a proven track record of preparing comprehensive databases and conducting critical analyses to inform strategic decisions in drug development. My commitment to scientific excellence is reflected in my numerous publications and presentations at prestigious conferences.

I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy mentoring the next generation of scientists. My goal is to continue advancing the field of oncology through innovative research and effective communication of scientific knowledge.
