PhD Student
Auburn University
Ishwor Poudel is pursuing his Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics at the Department of Drug Discovery and Development under the guidance of Dr. Jayachandra Babu Ramapuram. His current research investigates different additive manufacturing technologies and their feasibility in fabricating personalized drug-delivery devices and formulations. The active 3D-printing projects are related to metal-based orthopedic devices to prevent post-surgical infections and injuries, polymer-based drug-eluting implants and scaffolds, and the fabrication of orodispersible films for rapid drug absorption. Ishwor also works with nanocarriers like liposomes and their applications to improve overall efficacy against diseases like cancer. Besides research, Ishwor is extensively involved with leadership positions within various student organizations and has led Auburn University- AAPS Student Chapter as Chair and Chair-Elect for the past two years. You are welcome to visit his poster presentations:1. Hispolon Cyclodextrin complexes and cyclodextrins-in-liposomes for enhanced in vitro anticancer activity against melanoma (W1030-04-22), (2) Customized fast dissolving orodispersible films using extrusion-based 3D-Printing(T1430-08-48) & (3) 3D-Printed drug-eluting scaffolds for mechanical support and regeneration: a personalized approach to implant-associated surgical site rehabilitation(T1230-04-22). He is also presenting a rapid-fire presentation titled “ Patient-centric implants and scaffolds: An imminent paradigm shift with additive manufacturing”.
