-Teaching Assitant in Physical Chemical Principles-Research Assitant in Doctor Taylor's Lab

• Conducted characterization of solid state properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients and amorphous solid dispersions using PXRD, DSC/TGA, FTIR.• Prepared amorphous solid dispersions by spray drying.• Evaluated amorphous solid dispersion stability during dissolution in biorelevant media.

-Formulated pharmaceutical dosage form for veterinary use-Developed analytical procedures for the quantitation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the final product-Structured quality assurance and quality control procedures for products and raw materials

Research Assistant:-Researched in permeability using vertical and horizontal bicompartmental cells with different types of synthetic membranes.-Performed dissolution test and repartition experiments by microfiltration.Teaching Assistant-Prepared material and reactants necessary for the laboratory sessions.-Assisted professors during the design, preparation, and execution of laboratory sessions for the following courses: pharmacotechnics (solids, liquids, semisolid formulations), physicochemical and microbiological quality control, industrial pharmacy, and cosmetics.

-Conducted cultivation of in vitro culture of Ganoderma mushroom in a biorelevant medium to produce polysaccharides. -Performed extraction and develop quantification methods for polysaccharides.

-Conducted water sample analysis for pool waters. -Documented analysis procedures and results for water samples.-Collaborated in the laboratory certification process.
