Senior Scientist
Granules Pharmaceutical Inc.
About Me:
Hello! I am Dr. Rajanikant Patel, a passionate researcher in the field of Pharmaceutical science. Currently, I am working as Senior Scientist-Product development at Granules Pharmaceutical Inc., Chantilly, Virginia, USA. My primary research interests lie in formulation and process development of solid oral dosage form. My published articles have more than 400 citations in various international journals.
Academic Background:
I hold a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical science, where I had the opportunity to work on “Formulation strategies for dissolution enhancement of challenging drugs which practically insoluble in gastric fluid and high permeable through stomach”. My academic journey has been fueled by my curiosity and dedication to advancing knowledge in Solubility enhancement of poorly soluble drugs and high permeable drugs (BCS class-2).
Research Experience:
Over the years, I have been involved in various research projects, including:
• Immediate and modified release (delayed and extended release) tablets/capsules
• Multi-unit particulate system
• Solubility enhancement of poorly soluble drugs using amorphous solid dispersion by hot melt extrusion and spray drying, inclusion complex with various cyclodextrin derivatives,
• Targeted dosage form i.e. Gastro-retentive, colon targeted etc.
• Zero order drug release using osmotic technology
• Pharmacokinetics of solid oral dosage form
• Quality by design implementation in product development
Professional Goals:
My professional goals include contributing to the body of knowledge in drug delivery technologies, collaborating with fellow researchers, and fostering innovation through my work. I am particularly interested in exploring Product development of solid oral dosage forms.
