USD 200 /hr

Pharmaceutical industry leader, with extensive knowledge of drug delivery systems and protein characterization

Profile Summary

I hold a PhD in Pharmaceutical Technology and bring over five years of experience as a scientist at Medincell, a pharmaceutical company, followed by two years leading the Pharmaceutical Technology Department at Recordati Spain. In the early stages of my career, during my doctoral studies and tenure at Medincell, I developed extensive technical expertise in research and development of drug delivery systems and long-acting injectables, with a particular emphasis on protein drug formulation and immunogenicity assessment. Subsequently, I assumed a leadership role overseeing a department responsible for developing formulations across specialty and primary care sectors, including solid, liquid, and semi-solid dosage forms. This work encompassed pharmaceuticals, food supplements, and cosmetics, all within regulated environments adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and technology transfer protocols.
