•Validated effective active ingredients in vitro in a cGMP/GLP environment by preforming pre-formulation screening independently and in multidisciplinary teams (internally and externally):Anti-erosion: studied de-/re-mineralization on polished enamel of bovine teeth using in vitro pH- cycling models. Launched into two successive stages of clinical trials. Stain-prevention: evaluated absorption of coffee/tea stains color by biomimetic samples.- Assisted colleagues to examine stability of active ingredients in different environments and saliva viscosity for dry mouth study.• Optimized study methodology to improve efficiency and guaranteed data accuracy.• Successfully validated effective active ingredients in vitro for anti-erosion team in a cGMP/GLP environment and launched to clinical trials. • Coached 4+ interns on projects; documented standard operating procedures (SOPs) and trained instrumentations.

• Designed silica- nanoparticles (NPs) for targeted and controlled release in chemotherapy application.- Functionalized surface of NPs to encapsulate cis-platin- determined stability and drug release profile by Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), morphology by TEM and structure by FTIR.• Developed colorimetric chemosensor to detect and quantify trace amount of cyanide in water sources by UV-Vis.

Responsibility:Evaluated assignments in a timely manner and oversaw exams for General Biochemistry class.

• Incorporated tea -based compounds into bio-hybrid conjugates and prepared formulations for applications in food chemistry and controlled drug delivery.- Examined impurity by HPLC (3D ChemStation)- salt and pH impacts on aggregation behavior of acrylic acid modified hybrid Chitosan-protein conjugates derivatives by UV-Vis, DLS and turbidimetry.
