I am PhD in organic chemistry/Natural Products/SC-CO2 and have worked for more than 26 years in pharmaceuticals and Food industries as senior scientist and R&D Manager. I have my exposure to pharmacopoeia, FDA and international audits. I have also an exposure to ISO 9002:2008 and ISO 14001. I have worked on Thiocolchicoside, Colchicoside, Hyoscine Butyl Bromide (anti-cholinergic), Methscopolamine Nitrate USP (anti-cholinergic), 10-DAB, Taxol, Colchicine, Etoposide (anti-neoplastic). I have filled patents on colchicoside, Deformylation of Thiocolchicoside (chemical process), Deproteination (Hydro-colloids) for foods (P&G).

Besides working in the leading companies as research scientist, I have also worked as Professor of Organic Chemistry with Lovely Professional University for two years and ISTAR SPU Anand Gujarat for one year where I was heading the department of Organic chemistry. I had earned a project worth of 20 lacs from University Grants Commission New Delhi.

While working for noveons I have very closely worked with International regulatory bodies before dispatching the R&D developed formulations to them for foods. I have also developed ice-cream formulations with close interactions with FDA officials and checked all the raw materials used therein for their pathogens, Pseudomonas, E. coli etc. I was very stringent scientist with regards to quality assurance and check. I have also supervised the Galactomannans processes for their microbiology checks and assuring by exposing them to gamma-irradiation and/or ethylene oxide/CO2 irradiation to minimize their total platelets counts, ensuring no chemical transformation of the moieties.

While working as senior scientist with Alchem International Limited, I have closely interacted with QC/QA scientist to see the products get through stringent passing norms. I have also involved in designing DMF for Quinine Sulphate, 10-DAB. Along with their interpretation analysis by 1H-NMR

Last but not least I have professed Organic chemistry/Natural products chemistry/medicinal chemistry for MSc, MPhil students. I am to be honoured very soon with the CSci and FRSC. I have also published papers in bio transformation of colchicine to 3-demethylcolchicine as a precursor for Thiocolchicoside. I have got 20 lacs sanctioned as a major project to research on Etoposide from UGC India in the capacity of Professor.
