EDUCATION/TRAINING

Personal Statement

“The statement- ‘a doctor can kill a patient at a time, while a pharmaceutical scientist can kill thousands of patients at a time’ is a very sobering assertion that I have often heard of, in the school of Pharmacy. As a scientist trained in pharmaceutics and quality control, I am highly persuaded to take part in worthy ventures that could lead to solving world health pharmaceutical problems. My formal training and research exposure / experience have provided me with a solid background in pharmaceutics, cell culture cytotoxicity, drug repurposing, RAFT polymerization, pharmaceutical nanotechnology, natural product research and trichology.  My ultimate goal is to contribute my own quota to solving global health issues.”
