What I'm looking for

I seek analytical R&D roles in pharma where I can apply method development, bioanalysis, and validation expertise within a GLP/GDP-focused team and contribute to robust regulatory submissions.

I am a pharmaceutical R&D scientist with hands-on experience in API and excipient analysis, HPLC/ICPMS testing, and analytical method development across generics and research projects.

My work spans senior research roles at Cipla and Lupin where I performed assay, dissolution, impurity profiling, validation studies, and physico‑chemical characterization using instruments like HPLC, GC‑MS, NMR, FT‑IR, MALDI‑TOF, and particle size analyzers.

I publish in peer‑reviewed journals, follow GLP/GDP practices, and bring strong analytical, technical, and documentation skills to drive robust product development and regulatory submissions.
