Profile Summary

I am a dedicated and motivated learner with excellent problem solving and critical thinking skills. During my doctoral research, I have successfully worked in an interdisciplinary team including Pharmacist, chemical biologists, Biochemists and Pharmacologist that has exposed me to a wide range of expertise e.g. Drug Delivery techniques, Polymeric Nanoparticles formulations, Biodegradable polymeric combinations for sustained release drug delivery, transdermal patches, Physic-chemical analysis & optimization, permeability enhancement techniques, in-vitro dissolution, in-vitro permeation, X-Vivo permeation, in-vivo release & permeation drug testing in in-vivo mouse & rabbits models. Apart from that, I do love to work in the areas of pharmaceuticals formulations, cosmeceutical formulations optimization, and the formulation of products, highly obtained from natural sources. Currently, I am working as a full-time Associate Professor in Pharmaceutics and working on multiple projects. Previously, I did Pharm-D and honoured to receive a fully-funded scholarship from the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan for M.phil leading to a PhD. I also secured IRSIP scholarship for PhD research at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver (Canada). Along with these scholarships, I have honored to award different international travel grants to present research work.
