Virtual Poster Session 2

At Dr. Bahal’s lab, Aniket is investigating anti-sense therapy for the treatment of cancer using nanotechnology. Apart from research, he is passionate about music, soccer and computer games.

My research topic is the Analytical characterisation of biosimilar products. I did Master of Technology in Chemical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad.

My research interest lies in the field of downstream process development of biopharmaceuticals as well as the development of continuous processing platforms for biopharmaceuticals. The main focus on the development of continuous processing is driven by the huge cost of biopharmaceuticals such that not everyone can afford the treatment especially in the developing and under developed countries. Continuous processing has the potential to lower down the cost of these expensive biotherapeutics which interests me a lot and motivate me to do work in this field and contribute to the betterment of the society.
I have gained working experience of 2.5 years at Lupin ltd., Pune in R&D section. I was designated as Research Associate in Downstream processing department. In my industrial career, I did the process characterization of microbial based product, learned risk assessment of developing a process, designing DoE for studying the interaction between various parameters of the process.
In the academics I did my masters from Pune University (M. Sc. Biotechnology 2014-16).
I did my graduation from Gargi college, University of Delhi (B.Sc. (H) Microbiology 2011-14).
I have attended several conferences (National and International). I have won Silver Viji Award at SBCN 2021 conference, France.
I am always looking forward to grow more and excel in my field.

Following graduation, he moved to the United States and joined the lab of Dr. Hua Mei at the East Tennessee State University in Johnson City TN for graduate studies (2014). At the Mei’s lab, Faisal developed two new diazonium Bis(perfluoroalkyl)arylsulfonyl imide zwitterionic monomers for proton exchange membrane fuel cells. In August 2021, Faisal completed his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry under the mentorship of Professor Michael H. Nantz at the University of Louisville, KY where he synthesized cationic lipids as siRNA delivery agents. During his Ph.D. program, he worked at the National Cancer Institute in Maryland as a predoctoral fellow and later as a postdoctoral fellow (2020-2021). In October 2021, Faisal moved to the University of Connecticut in Storrs as a Postdoctoral Research Associate to continue work on the development and formulation of cationic liposomes for siRNA delivery under the supervision of Dr. Xiuling Lu.

so she decided to study Pharmaceutical Chemistry in the University of the Atlantic in my city. In second year, she started to like he Analytical field and I knew I would like to work on something related to it. Before obtaining my degree, I began an internship in Farmacápsulas, in the quality control department. Six months later, they offered me a full-time position in the same department. For two years I also worked in the validation departments and in the regulatory affairs departments. I wanted to learn more about the analytical field, so I applied to the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus (UPRM) to start a master’s degree in Chemistry, with a background in Analytical Chemistry. During this time, I’ve gained experience as teacher assistant, research assistant and I’ve learned about analytical techniques and instruments that were new to me. She plans to continue her graduate studies next semester and start her PhD in the same field.

Her current work includes continuous downstream processing of Biotherapeutics protein and use of Raman spectroscopy for analytical characterisation of critical quality attributes of Biotherapeutics under the guidance of Prof. Anurag Singh Rathore. She has done her Masters from IIT-Delhi which includes molecular engineering of P. stipitis and S. cerevisiae and B.Tech from Indraprastha University where she worked on effect of Beetroot extracts on DNA degradation.

He completed his Masters in Biotechnology from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, India and obtained Bachelor's degree in Microbiology from Swami Shraddhanand College, University of Delhi, India. My research interests include developing robust, efficient, and sensitive analytical methods to facilitate in-depth characterization of biopharmaceuticals, especially monoclonal antibodies. Currently, the majority of my work focuses on the utilization of capillary electrophoresis and liquid chromatography-based separation methods to improve the characterization of biotherapeutics.

This further led to a post doctorate in Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, which I am currently pursuing. Her research areas include downstream processing and process development including optimisations of process steps such as refolding.

I earned my Bachelor's of Science in Biology from Temple University. In Dr. Bahal's lab I am researching effective methods to deliver miRNA mimics in various diseases.

He has experience in process development, scale-up and development of process analytical technologies for monitoring and control of biopharmaceutical processes in manufacturing of mAbs. He has 2 years of industrial experience at Biocon Limited and completed his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.
