• Provides direct oversight and interacts with the external Contract Research Organizations (CROs) responsible for conducting the quantitative analysis of biological samples in support of small molecule clinical and/or preclinical development. • Develops and implements Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for managing GCP and GLP bioanalytical projects conducted by external CRO(s).• Represent the bioanalysis function on the development program teams and present results, timelines, etc. at project team meetings.• Responsible for the scientific quality of the bioanalytical projects in support of clinical and/or preclinical development.• Defines, coordinates, manage and oversees the bioanalytical project timeline. • Collaborate with clinical / preclinical drug development program teams.• Lead bioanalytical method development and validation team for new compounds entering development stage.

• Functioned as a technical resource for the group and leads method troubleshooting and training of staff with extraction techniques and LC/MS analysis. • Participated and led the development of analytical methods for validation assays using a variety of analytical techniques for multidisciplined studies ensuring that required scientific and GLP aspects are maintained, and the studies are conducted according to SOPs.• Generated and evaluated data for incorporation into scientific research articles and external reports as needed.• Responded to unscheduled deadlines, client needs, crises, etc. without neglecting other duties. • Educated self on new scientific literature and newly developed methods and techniques.

Involved in method development for small and large molecules

Performed analytical testing in support of the new product development and manufacture and performed laboratory operations with good dexterity, and high quality of accuracy and precision.Maintained departmental analytical facility comprised of UV-Vis UHPLC/HPLC, LCMS, LCMS/MS, NMR and GC instruments.Performed and analyzed data for ADME (plasma protein binding, and solubility studies, as well as, blood, plasma, urine, liver microsomes stability) assays.Conducted bioanalysis and quantitative analysis of samples from PK and in vivo efficacy studies in various models and generate reports.Performed technical problem solving with an adequate background of wet chemical and instrumental methods of analysis.Developed and authored analytical methods, SOPs and technical reports.

Mentored young minds for a better future- The best part of teaching is when you can convert a knowledge into a concept. The sheer diversity of the class makes it thrilling, enjoyable and challenging. In short, a life changing experience.Taught of General Chemistry college level course through Early College Program. Supervised General Chemistry lab Practicals for undergraduate (Yalow scholars) students of different levels.
