What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead QbD-driven parenteral formulation and process development—especially liquid and lyophilized programs—while managing technical plans, solving formulation challenges, and supporting technology transfer and regulatory deliverables.

I’m a results-oriented pharmaceutical Formulation Scientist and R&D manager with 13+ years of experience in research and development of parenteral formulations. I specialize in pre-formulation, formulation development, process development/optimization, and technology transfer—always with an eye on execution and measurable outcomes.

I’ve developed and managed multiple research programs using Quality by Design (QbD) based Development approaches. My work covers liquid injections and lyophilized products, including prefilled single-dose and multiple-dose formats, as well as injectable emulsions and suspensions.

In my recent role at Lupin Ltd (Manager), I’m currently working on peptides, iron colloids, and 505B2 projects. I also support ANDA injectable dosage forms, including P-IV approach (Patent approved), through activities like PDP planning, formulation composition identification, and review of analytical and stability results.

I lead experiment planning independently—then interpret results, refine assumptions, and run further problem-solving experiments. I coordinate exhibit batch execution with plant and technology transfer teams, contribute to master manufacturing documents (MFR), product specifications, filter validation inputs, and regulatory dossier contributions.
