Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School
I am a pharmaceutical science professional with extensive experience supporting skin research for applications in pharmaceutical medical devices, biotechnology, and cosmetic industries. My areas of focus include developing physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for dermal absorption and for assessing bio(in)equivalence of topical drug products, using vibrational spectroscopy techniques (Raman: confocal, SRS and CARS; FTIR) and analytical methods (such as HPLC-UV and LC/MS). I have mastered techniques including in vitro release testing (IVRT) and in vitro permeation testing (IVPT), in vivo clinical skin deposition studies, and analytical drug method development. I work cross-functionally on an innovative team of industry experts, present at scientific conferences, and provide scientific advisory for industry and regulatory organizations.
