PhD Candidate in Pharmacology | GPCR Specialist | GMP Consultant | SOP Development

Profile Summary

I am a PhD Candidate in Pharmacology and Toxicology at Saint Joseph’s University with over a decade of experience across academic research and industrial laboratory operations. My core expertise lies in the characterization of novel ligands through multi-target GPCR pharmacology, specifically focusing on serotonin (5-HT2A, 5-HT1A) and opioid (MOR, KOR) receptor systems. My dissertation work explores the critical relationship between binding and functional assays, providing deep insights into ligand-receptor dynamics. Beyond the bench, I bring a rigorous industrial perspective from my tenure as a Scientist at Eurofins Lancaster Laboratory, where I executed GMP-compliant testing for high-priority products, including CAR-T therapies and COVID-19 vaccines. I specialize in bridging the gap between theoretical pharmacodynamics and operational excellence through: Analytical Method Development: Expertise in validating assays (HPLC, ELISA, Western Blotting) and authoring strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure data integrity and regulatory compliance. Laboratory Engineering: Successfully spearheaded the operational onboarding of 30+ analytical instruments and architected automated data management ecosystems using GraphPad Prism. Regulatory Leadership: Experienced lead for Radiation Safety and GLP/GMP documentation, ensuring strict adherence to ALCOA+ principles. Pedagogical Innovation: Proven track record in scientific communication and curriculum design, including the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) modules for structural biology and pharmacology education. I am available for consulting on project-based work involving pharmacological screening, technical writing, regulatory compliance (GMP/GLP), and data systems engineering. Core Competencies Pharmacology: Radioligand binding, functional assays, receptor signaling, and structure-activity relationships (SAR).Compliance: SOP authoring, GMP/GLP documentation, method validation, and Radiation Safety. Analytical Techniques: Mammalian cell culture, HPLC, Western Blotting, ELISA, NMR, and Fluorescence Microscopy. Software: GraphPad Prism, Empower HPLC, ChemDraw, and automated data workflows.
