Biography

I am a pharmaceutical sciences professional with nearly 15 years of experience across academia, research, and industry. My career spans teaching, pharmaceutical research, and drug development, underpinned by a strong foundation in both practical and theoretical knowledge of the field. Currently, I work as a Research Associate focused on X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of pancreatic cancer tissues , contributing to advanced translational oncology research. I am nearly finishing my PhD at Ulster University, where my research concentrated on formulation development and targeted drug delivery of antimicrobial agents using biomaterials. This work builds on a long-standing commitment to improving pharmaceutical outcomes through innovative research. My academic background includes a Pharm-D (2010), an MPhil in Pharmacy (2016), and a PhD near completion in Pharmaceutical Sciences. I have worked extensively in areas including pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical equivalence, formulation development, and pharmaceutics. Teaching has been an integral part of my journey. I have taught modules such as Pharmaceutical Technology, Industrial Pharmacy, and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, and served as a PhD Demonstrator at Ulster University. My professional interests lie at the interface of drug delivery, formulation science, and translational medicine and diagnostics for cancer. I am driven by a passion for advancing pharmaceutical research that has real-world clinical impact.
