Biography

I have earned my PhD degree in pharmaceutics from GCUF. I have exceptional track record of research success with multiple published articles. Currently I am also serving as Associate professor in Pharmacy College. I also participated in national and international conference as speaker. I have more than 23 national and international publications. I conducted many wrathful workshops for pharmacy students. I have done certificate courses on cGMP, QbD, Risk Assessment, Process Validation, ISO/IEC 17025:2005, 14001:2004, USP Drug discovery and 9001:2015. I am member of Parenteral Drug Association (PDA), Pakistan pharmacist association (PPA), International Pharmaceutical Federation (IPF), American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), American Society for Microbiology (ASM) and International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE). I am also member of European Compliance Academy (ECA) and certified GMP auditor. I have extensive knowledge of PIC/s, WHO, ICH and have led several investigational/developmental and clinical projects in Pakistan. I have strong scientific, bio-analytical, planning, managerial and training skills and knowledge. I am currently working as an Associate Professor and H.O.D. (Pharmaceutics Department) in Riphah International University Faisalabad Campus. I have formulation science background with extensive experience from both industry and academia. I have particular interest in drug delivery research at the interface of chemistry and pharmaceutics, and publish regularly in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals. I am author of more than forty research papers. I am also approved supervisor for PhD and MPhil students form HEC Pakistan.
