SUMMARY:
I am an experienced (4+ years) result oriented analytical chemist with capability of working multiple
projects simultaneously. I have hands on expertise in chromatographic method development by HPLC and
GC. I have experience in method validation, working in GMP environment and instrument calibration.
EXPERIENCE:
Associated with ITC-ILTD (Spices Lab) from Sep 2014 to till date.
Associated with AMRI (ALBANY MOLECULAR RESEARCH,INC.) from Jul 2011 to Aug 2014.
In ITC-Spices lab (from Sep 2014 to present as Junior Research Associate):
 Analyzing parameters in spices like Aflatoxins, Ochratoxin-A, Trace metal analysis and Pesticide
residues quantitatively and qualitatively.
 Developing the analytical methods for the analysis of toxic substances and Pesticide Residues by
chromatography (HPLC,GC, GC-MS/MS (Triple quad) and LC-MS/MS).
 Working in NABL accredited laboratory (ISO 9000:17025) certified.
 Testing the final substance and generate the certificate of analyses (COA). Drafting the test
method, weekly project update and analytical technical package (depends on project).
 Interacting with business team to reduce the product failures at finalstages,henceforth reducing the
loss in production at final stages.
 Involving in the analytical method validations.
 Calibration and maintenance of analytical instruments as per SOP.
 Actively involved in compiling MRL updates of different countries as accurate MRL’s will define
the good business with customers.
 Conduct laboratory operations in a safe manner. Maintain familiarity with the Chemical Hygiene
Plan. Exhibit safety awareness and safe work practice. Use and maintain equipment in a neat and
orderly manner.
In AMRI (from Jul 2011 to Aug 2014 as Research Scientist):
 Operation of the analytical instruments like HPLC, GC, GC-MS, LC-MS, NMR, IR, UV, Karl
fisher & DSC and performing the wet chemistry techniques like LOD, ROI and heavy metal
testing.
 Developing the analytical methods for the analysis of pharmaceutical substances and
pharmaceutical intermediates by chromatography (RPLC, Chiral HPLC, GC, GC headspace and
LC-MS).
 Giving the analytical support for testing of the in-process samples on realtime.
 Testing the final substance and generate the certificate of analyses (COA).
 Drafting the test method, weekly project update and analytical technical package (depends on
project).

2.  Attend the customer teleconference and planning the analyticalwork as per customer requirements.
 Involving in the analytical method validations.
 Calibration and maintenance of analytical instruments as per SOP.
 Conduct laboratory operations in a safe manner. Maintain familiarity with the Chemical Hygiene
Plan. Exhibit safety awareness and safe work practice. Use and maintain equipment in a neat and
orderly manner.
 Keep contemporary, accurate, legible, and complete experimental records in accordance with GLP
practices.
