• Designed and developed different formulations for in-vivo animal studies.• Experienced in characterizing pharmaceutical components and drug substances prior to formulation using 1H, 13C-NMR, 2D-NMR, UV-VIS, HPLC, GC, LC-MS, XRPD, DSC, solid and solution state Infra-red and Raman spectroscopic techniques.• Experienced in Pre-formulation characterization and formulation evaluation, such as the measurement of solubility, dissolution, diffusion, pH, solvent compatibility and viscosity, etc.• Experienced in designing and developing Parenteral formulations such as Intravenous, Intramuscular and Subcutaneous injectables. • Involved in preparing several batches for preclinical and clinical studies.• Maintained and managed master formulas, manufacturing records, test reports and related protocols. • Involved in the development and validation of analytical methods for performing stability testing on the manufactured formulations based upon ICH/VICH guidelines.• Prepared and reviewed experimental results, product formulation report, monitored stability data on new and reformulated products.

• The objective of this project was to synthesise a range of novel cyclic dipeptides (DKP derivatives) possessing potentially useful clinical activities. • Various instrumental techniques were utilised in order to determine the purity, structure and conformation of cyclic dipeptides in the solid, solution and gaseous states; namely NMR (solid and solution state), MS, dispersive Raman/surface enhanced Raman, infra-red spectroscopy, temperature dependent XRPD and single crystal X-ray diffraction. • Gaussian and CASTEP molecular modelling packages were used to determine the theoretical structures of the synthesised molecules in the solid, solution and gaseous phases. In addition, the modelling packages were utilised to obtain theoretical spectroscopic data in order to compare and contrast with experimental data outputs.

• Led several lab sessions for undergraduates and students from school in the chemistry department.• Demonstrated experiments for undergraduate and postgraduate students of up to 30-40 students.• Supervised/guided 7 undergraduates and 4 postgraduate students in their projects.• Involved in open days and pre-application days in terms of promoting the chemistry department.• Acted as mentor for GCSE school students in their 1st and 2nd year examination.• Assisted with on-campus events organised by university and academic schools.

• Accurately dispensed drugs to patients according to the doctor’s/GP prescription.• Maintained full and accurate records of all dispensing transactions.• Involved in measuring, packaging, labelling and recording medications issued to patients.• Ensured that drugs are received and stored in an appropriate manner in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.• Managed Dossette boxes and medication for patients on a weekly and monthly basis.• Involved in maintaining pharmaceutical stock, over the counter medicines (OTC) and creating inventories and ordering drugs.• Participated in communicating with the customers sympathetically and supportively.
