STABILITY AND REGULATORY ASSOCIATE
Professional Overview

Over twenty five years of pharmaceutical experience in the Quality Laboratories and Quality Services including 9 years of stability experience As a stability scientist main responsibility is to determine the appropriate shelf life/ expiry period and label storage statement for clinical and finished products such as drug products, cosmetics and medical devices. Oversees all aspects of the stability program from initiating stability study, preparing portions of regulatory submissions to commercial launch. Investigates quality issues, determines root cause, and initiates corrective action with the guidance of local and regulatory documents as well as other groups such as, Quality Assurance and New Product Development Group, when required.

As a senior scientist in quality control, responsibilities were to managed workflow, created and implemented changes in processes for more efficient and compliant practices by proper documentation from sample receipt to sample destruction. Managed the upgrade of monitoring system for environmental chambers to a CFR 21 system. Migrated stability studies from manual system to the electronic system, which led to efficient timelines in stability study initiation, reduced missed pulls and deviation Trained colleagues on the use Laboratory Information Management System and other specialty equipment such as the particle counter.
