Anupa Anupa

Integrated Continuous Purification for Antigen-Binding Fragments (Fab) Expressed as InclusionBodies: Ranibizumab as a Case Study

[dgv_vimeo_video id="649661965"]

Anupa is a PhD scholar at IIT Delhi, registered in the department named School of Interdisciplinary Research under the guidance of Prof. Anurag Singh Rathore.

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.

Faisal Ibrahim, PhD
Postdoc

Development of Novel Stealth Non-viral vector for in vivo Delivery of siRNA to Human Lung Cancer

[dgv_vimeo_video id="651615319"]

Faisal Ibrahim grew up in Ghana and attended The University for Development Studies, Tamale where he completed his BSc. in Applied Chemistry.

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.

Nathaly Movilla Meza

Feasibility study on the use of a closed feed frame for the development of a near infrared spectroscopic calibration model to determine low drug concentrations  

[dgv_vimeo_video id="650610344"]

Nathaly Movilla Meza is from Barranquilla, a coast city in Colombia. In high school she was very good at Chemistry,

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.
