● Conducted literature searches and reviews to design novel drug carriers to target inflammation.● Set up ELISA for quantifying the biologics (EGF, and anti-IL5) to determine the loading, activity, and release of these biologics from inflammation-responsive hydrogel particles developed for inflammatory bowel syndrome and severe refractory asthma● Quantified tacrolimus and rapamycin solubility and release using UPLC from inflammation targeted hydrogel● Established transepithelial electrical resistance assay across the human nasal epithelial cell (RPMI 2650) based monolayer to access the effect of pathogen capture intranasal spray on intranasal permeability● Set up the assays for in vitro evaluation of inhalable particles using twin impinger to quantify deep lung deposition and capillary surfactometer to establish airway patency● Analyzed experimental data using GraphPad prism and prepared figures for scientific publications

● Lead event coordination and logistical planning by organizing conference content schedule, as well as organizing the travel and accommodation details for 20+ distinguished guest speakers ● Drafted and submitted grant proposals to secure funding for a large-scale (>500 participants) conference, resulting in the successful execution of a financially viable event● Reduced budgetary expenditures by researching and sourcing cost-effective equipment, consumables, and other supplies● Drafted and reviewed manuscripts and book chapters for publication in peer-reviewed journals● Imaged fluorescence-stained fixed cells and tissue samples using confocal microscopy (Nikon NIS elements) for both internal and external instrument users

● Developed curricular content (lecture slides, assignments, and quizzes) for 3 academic credit courses over a 6 month period, resulting in the optimization of learning outcomes● Maintained an online database of academic performance and attendance history to track and apply actionable data for student evaluation and improvement plans
