MSc in Advanced Pharmacology - University of Strathclyde

About

I’m detrmined by the belief that every piece of clinical or research data I work with has the potential to improve lives. With an MSc in Advanced Pharmacology and a Bachelor’s in Pharmacy, I bring both strong academic foundations and practical skills to my career in clinical research and pharmacology. During my academic and research training, I gained extensive hands on experience in laboratory and pharmacological techniques. My MSc project focused on ion channels as modulators of enteric excitability, where I applied single-cell RNA sequencing analysis and organ bath studies using the Sprague Dawley rat model. I also developed expertise in histological assessments, including intima-media thickness and collagen distribution, and performed statistical analysis using GraphPad Prism and OriginPro. My MPharm research explored the neuroprotective effects of Lupeol in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases, where I carried out procedures such as IV, IP, IM, SC, and PO dosing, stereotaxic surgery, dissection, and immunohistochemistry. These experiences, supported by strong knowledge of GCP, GLP, and GMP, have prepared me to manage research processes, ensure data accuracy, and operate effectively in regulated environments. Alongside my academic projects, I gained industrial exposure during my internship at GK Healthcare, India, where I assisted in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes for tablets and syrups. This role gave me insight into basic quality control practices, workflow efficiency, stock management, and documentation for regulatory compliance. The combination of academic research and industrial training has provided me with a balanced perspective of both laboratory-based research and applied pharmaceutical operations. I am proficient in a range of laboratory and analytical techniques, including ELISA, gel electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, and reagent preparation. I also have working knowledge of HPLC and have handled key laboratory equipment such as centrifuges, spectrophotometers, and autoclaves. My ability to use tools such as GraphPad Prism, ImageJ, and Microsoft Office ensures efficient data analysis, reporting, and presentation. I strongly value continuous learning and have completed certifications in Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP), Basic GMP, Industrial Biotechnology, and hold a PIL Certificate by the Scottish Accreditation Board. I have also volunteered at professional conferences, gaining exposure to the broader pharmaceutical and clinical research community.
