1 (née Porter) 501 Webster Rd. Lot 315 Auburn, AL (256) Education Auburn University Auburn, AL Bachelor of Chemical Engineerin g: Specialization in Biomedical Engineering May 2014 Ph.D. of Pharmaceutical Sciences/Pharmaceutics August 2018 Cumulative GPA: 3.91/4.00 Summary Formulation scientist with an engineering background equipped with strong critical thinking and problem-solving expertise. Specialization in topical ophthalmic/transdermal formulations and biodegradable synthetic/natural polymers for sustained drug delivery. Strong leadership and intrapersonal skills for successful collaboration with colleagues and companies. Organized, energized and ready to thrive in a fast-paced company. Research Experience Graduate Research Assistant May 2014 Present Optimization and characterization of nanoemulsions for topical drug delivery; characterization using particle size/ zeta potential analyzer and viscometer; formulation assay using HPLC; analytical HPLC method development; development of stability indicating assay methods; accelerated stability studies; preparation of SOPs, presentations, protocols and reports PhD Research Projects May 2014-Present Solubility enhancement of nepafenac by complexation with Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin May May 2015 o Developed successful complexation between nepafenac and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin to improve water solubility of nepafenac, confirmed using differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy o Formulated nepafenac complex into a solution which achieved 11-times higher corneal permeation compared to, Nevanac Increased ocular retention of nepafenac using in-situ gel former: sodium alginate May 2015-May 2016 o Design of in-situ gel for nepafenac/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin complex using optimum amount of sodium alginate that yields appropriate clarity and gelation o Rheology studies revealed that the viscosity increased 30-fold when exposed to the simulated tear fluid at 35 o Accomplished improved permeation to posterior ocular tissues in porcine perfusion studies Improved difluprednate delivery to the posterior segment of the eye using Hydroxypropyl-β- Cyclodextrin and PLGA microneedles May 2016-Present o Preparation of liquid and solid-state complexation of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin and difluprednate achieved enhanced permeation to the posterior segment compared to the commercial, Durezol o PLGA-based microneedles with dissolving PAA provided sustained drug release over a 7-day period; PAA dissolved within 30 minutes o Texture Analyzer and SEM revealed sharp uniform microneedles with a high failure force o Permeation studies through porcine sclera yielded steady permeation over 24-hours, without the presence a burst effect
