In my role at the United States Pharmacopeia, I develop and validate analytical methods to analyze active/key pharmaceutical ingredients and their organic and inorganic impurities. These methods enable quantification of the APIs, identification of process impurities and degradation products as well as their quantification, which are then used to test and assess pharmaceutical raw materials as well as finished pharmaceutical products.
My drug formulation development experience started during my MS in Pharmaceutics program back in 2012, where I was trained to develop and characterize microspheres. Although I do not work on drug formulation development anymore, I started using my analytical chemistry skills to collaborate with several formulation labs to study different pharmacokinetic behaviors, specially drug targeting, release, uptake, stability and solubility of various drug delivery systems.
