About the Authors:
Neelesh Kumar Mehra is Senior Research Scientist at the Sentiss Research Center, Haryana, India. His area of research is in the design, development, evaluation of ophthalmic nanoemulsion, lipospheres, liposomes, fullerenes, and nanoparticles for topical/parenteral delivery of drugs/biomolecules.
Saurabh Srivastava is an Associate Professor of Pharmaceutics, at the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Hyderabad, India. His research interests include the development and optimization of industrially viable, feasible and scalable differentiated formulations, for the purpose of bioavailability enhancement, food effect minimization, repurposing/new indication, synergism for FDCs, and dose/dosing frequency reduction.
Dr. Madan’s major areas of research include Self-assembled Supramolecular systems viz. liposomes, niosomes, cyclodextrin, nano- & micro-particles and solid-lipid nanoparticles. The focus is centered onto the exploitation of US FDA approved biomaterials in combination with other potential lipids and polymers to develop the innovative dosage forms and drug delivery systems in order to improve the bioavailability, stability, safety (tolerance) and patient-compliance.
Whilst a wide range of applications are being taken up, the special emphasis is given to augment the aqueous solubility and bioavailability of lipophilic drugs.
Dr. Pankaj Kumar Singh, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutics at the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research-Hyderabad (NIPER-Hyderabad), India. He earned his Doctorate in Pharmaceutics from CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow. Dr. Singh is actively involved in various scientific and socially impactful projects funded by prestigious organizations, including TSCOST-DBT, CCRUM, DST, ICMR, and the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India.
