Research Analyst - III Resume Example

Bioanalytical Lab Responsibilities:

• Responsible for methods development, LCMS maintenance/troubleshooting, validations, protocol writing, study sample analyses, and for coordinating with clients and providing timely updates.
• Developed LC/MS/MS assays for pharmaceutical APIs including ~40 small molecules, and large molecules such as proteins, peptides, polymers, and nucleotides in various biological matrices. Presented data to clients.
• Authored method protocols. Tasked with validating bioanalytical methods as per protocol, SOPs, and GLP guidelines.
• Completed study sample analysis per methods of analysis, SOPs, protocols, and GLP guidelines.
• Participated in eight FTF studies; performed good documentation practices as per SOPs and Sannova Quality Systems; and reviewed and interpreted the obtained chromatograms and data using Analyst and Mass Hunter software.
• Operated, calibrated troubleshooting, and maintained Schimadzu prominence HPLC systems, AB sciex MS, and other laboratory instruments including pipettes, pH meters, micro balances, shakers, homogenizers, SPE manifolds, centrifuges, and freezers.

Analytical Lab Responsibilities:

• Performed assay, impurity and dissolution methods.
• Written SOP's, Protocols and validation reports.
• Performed instrument related troubleshooting, product related troubleshooting and analytical Method related troubleshooting.
• Interpret, analyze, and manage data using Agilent's Open lab EZChrom software.
• Performed Calibration for HPLC instruments (Shimadzu, Waters, Agilent)

• Under supervision of Dr. Paul Bernazzani, studied the interactions in Polyethylene and Polystyrene blends using a fluorescent marker to foster understanding of the blending of multiple polymers, leading to a cost-effective method for the recycling of polymers.
• Prepared ultra-thin films of individual and blended polyethylene and polystyrene
• Studied the thermal properties of the blend using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC); the molecular level interactions using FT-IR; and the physical interactions using fluorescence and UV spectroscopy.
• Tutored undergraduates in forensic and biophysical chemistry laboratories and prepared solutions and other chemicals for laboratories in the Chemistry department.

Under the supervision of Dr. R. Nageshwar Rao developed Analytical method on RP-HPLC for “Simultaneous Estimation of Losartan and Amlodipine Bulk drugs and Pharmaceutical dosage forms”.
