Colleagues describe him as "I have known Basel for a little over 2 years working in the R&D CMC group I oversaw at Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals. I have found Basel to be a creative/innovative thinker who has either resolved or provided intellectual guidance on multiple issues at work whether it be for a seemingly simple formulation with complex issues or development of challenging molecules and platform technologies. Basel is very enthusiastic and passionate about science, digs into the root cause of the issues based on science. Basel also gets involved in areas outside his expertise, to learn and implement for a better understanding of the overall drug development process. The areas include drug substance synthesis/ process development, analytical/characterization techniques, and device related challenges including sterilization. Basel works very efficiently and professionally with CRO’s and CMO’s, ensuring timelines are met. Basel has done a great job in drafting development reports which served as source documents for regulatory filings. Basel has a collaborative attitude, goes out of his way to help his co-workers including supporting CTM manufacturing and assisting in device loading. Basel is very empathetic and cares deeply about his staff and fellow co-workers. Basel has a great personality, brings in energy and always greets with a smile on his face. I have been very fortunate to have Basel in the R&D CMC group. Syed Altaf, Ph.D. VP, Research and Scientific Innovation Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals", "Basel is one of the most hard-working people that I have met. He will go above and beyond to solve challenging problems and meet tight schedules. His ability to design and execute lab activities, analyze results, and use the outcome of those studies to make the right decisions towards the progress of a project makes him a strong team player and a leader. Working with Basel is a true pleasure.", and "Word cannot describe for the value Basel brings to the EyePoint R&D group. As our in-house ophthalmic SME, he always thinks about things that the rest of us overlook. As the leader of our formulation development team, he has led the team to discover deeper insights and ideas. Always with a big smile, Basel has been a blast to work with."
