Biography

I have earned Doctoral degree (PhD) in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from Hamdard University (Jamia Hamdard) New Delhi, India in 2000 under the direction of Professor Dr MSY Khan, focusing on the development & characterization of new quinazolinone derivatives as better pharmacological agents. I began the carrier as Scientist in Ranbaxy Research Laboratory in 2001 and worked on the Analytical method development and characterization group. My research focuses on the synthesis of newer small chemical entities, quinazolinones heterocyclic pharmacophore and their preliminary screening in both in-vivo and in-vitro models mainly focusing on pain & inflammation and also for newer microbial agents. I have published >40 articles in indexed journals and presented >80 papers in conferences and received number of honors, recently received “Young Scientist Award” in 2013 by International Society of Nature & Health Care Inc, USA and University of Colombo & University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. I was invited speaker at international scientific meetings and conferences and serves as reviewer for several scientific international journals and also as Editorial/Advisory board of various journals.
