She has a total experience of about 25 years in teaching, research and mentoring. Prof. Sanjula teaches at undergraduate, post graduate and doctoral levels and has also prepared e-content for postgraduate students on subjects like biopharmaceutics and cosmetics. Her research interests include improving oral bioavailability of BCS class II and Class IV drugs using approaches like complexation, polymeric conjugates, lipid based systems like microemulsions, nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers. She is actively involved in formulating nanoparticulate drug delivery systems for treatment of neurological disorders and cancer. Recently the research group of Prof. Baboota has expanded their research on formulating nanocarriers of combination drugs as combination drug therapy provides additive or synergistic effect, increases the spectrum of treatment, reduces the side effects, helps in overcoming the resistance, improves patient compliance and targets multiple pathways taking part in disease progression. Encapsulation of combination drugs in nanocarriers helps in overcoming the various biopharmaceutical challenges associated with the them thereby creating opportunities for better treatment. Prof Baboota is actively engaged in supervising post graduate and doctoral research work. More than 65 theses at post graduate level and 30 doctoral research work is being guided by her. Her research work has received financial supports from all the leading sponsoring bodies in India.
