EPSRC IAA discovery-to-use fellowship for the development of drug-eluting electrospun biomaterials for implantation during surgery to accelerate regeneration and improve functional outcomes for nerve-injured patients. Translational research with collaborators across the School of Pharmacy, the division of Surgery and Interventional Science (UCL) and spinout company Glialign Ltd.Patent PCT/GB2021/050108 - Drug eluting biomaterials, issued on January 18, 2021.

• Co-supervised and designed undergraduate and postgraduate student research projects.Project management of 4 MPharm/PhD short-term research students. Provided extensive support to their progress, learning and troubleshooting with experiments allied to editorial and scientific review of presentations and reports. All students passed with distinction.• Taught 4 different laboratory and workshop setting courses to 10 - 60 students at both undergraduate and MSc level. Evaluated student performance both in written and practical work and provided feedback.

• PhD researcher at the Centre of Doctoral Training (CDT) in Advanced Therapeutics and Nanomedicines based at UCL School of Pharmacy, London.• EPSRC-funded program with two rotational projects (1 year) followed by a PhD. Initial projects based at the School of Pharmacy, and the GSK Physical Properties R&D department.• On my first year, I investigated the synthesis of nucleic acid polymeric vectors for the treatment of glioblastoma. Later had the opportunity of working at the Stevenage R&D site of GlaxoSmithKline on the development of a predictive method to assess the effect of imparted stress on products physical properties during processing to increase efficiencies.• My PhD research involved developing advanced formulation approaches for heart regeneration cell-based therapies after myocardial infarction.

• Managed a team of 20 operators across three shifts, overseeing the production processes of solid dosage forms (such as granulates, tablets and capsules) under GMP conditions. • Ensured production targets and key performance measures were met whilst driving continuous improvement on site by implementation of quality tools (such as Kaizen).• Personally responsible for the mobilisation of an in-process control workflow from Quality Assurance to Production operations, delivering continuous training to personnel and ensuring a seamless transition across to the new process with substantial savings to the company.• Designed and delivered several production related documentation (SOPs) and new products batch records. Managed the production database (SAP).This role allowed me to gain an in-depth knowledge of the entire pharmaceutical work stream from QA and Validation, QC to Supply Chain and Procurement.

• Liaised with Supply Chain to plan and ensure coordination between departments for the timely review of executed batch records and subsequent product release.• Investigated and dealt with deviations on product and manufacturing process.• Prepared, reviewed and amended SOPs and verified up to date documentation as per GMP requirements.• Responsible for regular in-process QA checks for manufacturing/packing activities.• Ensured calibration, validation and monitoring of environmental parameters and cleaning procedures.

• Clinically reviewed and dispensed prescription medicines and supplies to wards and outpatients.• Worked closely with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals to provide advice to patients admitted for treatment in the wards.• Recorded patient histories relating to medicinal use, and ensured the safe and secure storage of all medicines and hospital supplies.• Prepared medicines and conducted quality checks (e.g. when individual drug components needed to be mixed together before treating patients).• Participated in the planning and monitoring of clinical trials and stayed updated on pharmacy regulations, treatments and developments in research and design.

• Delivered medication counselling, advised on the treatment of minor ailments and on any adverse effects and/or drug interactions.• Conducted specialist health checks, such as blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring, and diabetes screening health check-ups.• Clinically screened prescriptions and checked dispensed pharmaceutical products (including controlled drugs and medical devices) ensuring safety and clinical appropriateness.• Coordinated pharmacy operations workflows.• Liaised with other healthcare professionals regarding patients healthcare related concerns.

• Laboratory Research Practice under the ERASMUS LLProgram at the Pharmaceutics research group at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, under the supervision of Hubert Rein, PhD and Thomas Kipping, PhD.• The work carried out was the basis of my MPharm thesis - "Starch and gum behaviour as carriers on API/plasticizer extruded blends".
