Previous Employment:
Job Profile: Development of Silane-Siloxane products for application in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, coating,
chemical, mechanical and construction industries.
◊ Managing research and development of the existing products and development of new product range.
◊ Troubleshooting of the plant operations with synthetic, formulation and analytical inputs.
◊ Infrastructural development of the existing lab and preparation of SOPs and other documentation systems.
◊ Development of existing methodologies and introduction of new methodologies to improve production and
products.
Organisation: Piramal Life Sciences Ltd. (erstwhile Nicholas Piramal Pvt. Ltd.), Mumbai.
Job Profile: Synthesis, isolation and product development of New Chemical Entities (NCEs)
◊ Synthesis of novel drug entities, their isolation and characterization for the basic research/ medicinal chemistry
requirements.
◊ Synthetic support for early development of candidate drugs, process development of the nominated drug
molecules, their route evaluation and route optimisation.
Job Profile: Synthesis, isolation and product development of New Chemical Entities (NCEs)
◊ The construction and process optimization of NCEs (New Chemical Entities), which are nominated drug
candidates. The work included verifying the viability of various routes of
synthesis, impurity tracking, synthesis of lead compounds and their scaling up to kilogram level thereby bringing
out safe “recipes” (safe manufacturing routes).
◊ Telescopic methods and solvent swap methods of synthesis, the SOPs, Drug Project Operating Models and
various drug research methodologies with focus on the process development.
◊ Process Safety methodologies and implementation during the process development of candidate drugs.
◊ SHE (Safety, Health and Environment) considerations in principle and practice during the synthesis, process
development and laboratory work.
◊ Knowledge of the research of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), process development with GMP
considerations and their scaling up in generic drug synthesis. Hands on experience on various analytical
instruments like NMR, GCMS, HPLC and IR.
◊ KC College, Churchgate.
