About

I had completed my masters in Pharmaceutics from the JSS University Mysuru and PhD from DIPSAR University of Delhi at Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO). My work was inclined more towards transitional research. I had developed a novel technique for the radiological decontamination of the skin using novel complexing agents which are further incorporated inside a non-woven fabric and developed as skin decontamination wipe. The technology was transferred to the industry and the product is marketed under the trade name REMOCON TM. Currently, REMOCON is used by the Armed Forces and Paramilitary forces along with the National and State-level disaster relief forces. I had devised and applied pharmacoscintigraphic procedures for its preclinical evaluation of the drug delivery systems in various experimental models of disease. In collaboration with Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS), I had developed the dermal formulations for the broad spectrum decontamination and healing of radiation-induced wounds. Both the formulations were under the clinical evaluations according to the norms of the Drug Controller General of India.
For the, past 4 years, my work is exclusively focused on the Medical management of the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Emergencies. Currently, I am working as a scientist at IIT Delhi on the universal formulation for the CBRN decontamination of skin.
The first quarter of the previous year motivated me to direct my focus towards developing solutions for viral decontamination from living and inanimate surfaces. I was among the 4 Eminent Scientist from the country who got the fast track Covid-19 decontamination project from Department of Sciences and Technology (DST).
In my brief research carrier of 5 years, I had acclaimed 7 national and international awards most prominent among them is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India Covid-19 best innovation award 2020 and Department of Science and Technology, Young Scientist Award-2018. Currently, I am working as an investigator in the three projects from DST with a cost expenditure of more than 2 Cr, Filled and granted 10 national patents, 4 technologies successfully transferred to the industry. I had 45 publications including 5 book chapters, authored two books for Director General Life Sciences DRDO and Edited 2 books.
