Research Interest 

My main areas of interest are in formulation science, drug deliver and drug analysis. Drugs need to reach their target site, to produce the required effects. The design and formulation of any medications is as important as discovery of the new chemical entity. The field of nano/micro technology has gained much interest in research. Nanotechnology has the potential to improve the detection and treatment of many diseases. Currently, my focus is on sustained release dosage forms and nano/microparticle formulations.
