I spend considerable amount of time on mentoring activities with undergraduates in the final year working on projects, with graduate students (Masters and PhD), and with postdocs. In this role, I strive to build a learning environment in which these individuals can learn, grow intellectually, and exercise their independence (especially with graduate students and postdocs). All of these individuals are intellectually gifted, but many have risen to their current position primarily by doing well in course work. Their initiative, imagination, and independence have received little exercise.

To develop independence, one needs to be given the freedom to make choices. I try not to assign research projects to my students, but rather provide them with a number of possibilities from which they can choose. I generate a lot of research ideas which I continuously throw out into the lab environment. Students are free to pick up one of these ideas or not. These ideas derive from my ongoing research program, may not be so well developed and that gives the student the room to express their own initiative in the execution of such ideas. Nurturing their careers is of greater concern to me than is advancing my own. I have mentored an average of 6 final year pharmacy students in their final year projects since 2012 till date. Outlined below are the postgraduate students that I have mentored in the past couple of years.
