Development of various novel drug delivery systems for amelioration of bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of active molecules utilizing self-emulsifying drug delivery system, liposomes, solid – lipid nanoparticles,electrospun nanofibres, solid dispersion and cyclodextrin complexes etc .. (via spray dryer, rotatory evaporator, lyophillizer, probe sonicator, homogenizer and microfluidizer). Development of ligand targeted nanocarriers through different ligand functionalization strategies such as carbodiimide and click chemistry for improving therapeutic outcomes for cancer therapy.¡ Characterization of developed formulations: Characterization of developed formulations via DLS, microscopy techniques (SEM and TEM), PXRD, TGA/DSC and spectroscopy techniques (UV-Visible, NMR, MALDI-TOF MS, FT-IR). Enumeration of drug content, encapsulation efficiency, in-vitro release and dissolution studies using UV-Visible spectroscopy and HPLC techniques, in-vitro cell culture techniques (cell viability and cytotoxicity assays)• In-vivo studies: Preliminary knowledge of animal handling, oral dosing and parameters of kinetics and protocol in rodent models.
