I am a humble medical doctor trying to unravel nuances of drug development since last 20 years in my various roles. While pursuing my MD in Pharmacology, I was acting as a CRC in a Phase II clinical trial which fascinated me to pharma world. Leaving my established academic career behind, I decided to pursue pharma career in hope to contribute more to patient care and safety. My experience spans esteemed organizations, where I have tried to excel as a Safety Expert, Medical Monitor, and Medical Writer in therapeutic domains like Oncology, Cardiology, Dermatology, and more. For initial years of my career I have worked extensively in late and early phase clinical trials for various molecules acting as medical directors, encompassing end to end clinical development plan starting with project feasibility, protocol and associated documents development, training of investigators as well as internal clinical operations teams, during study data review including eligibility review and query resolution, safety monitoring, on site and centralized medical monitoring, clinical study report review etc. I have spearheaded regulatory submissions for FDA, EMA, and DCGI, and conducted impactful training programs for global project teams. In later leg of my career, I had an opportunity to contribute for core pharmacovigilance projects inclusive of set of PV systems, team building, leading large projects for end to end pharmacovigilance activities along with opportunity to contribute in development of PV automation systems.

I believe in constantly updating my skill set through continuous learning. Apart from MD in Clinical Pharmacology I have also completed my Post graduate Diploma in Pharmacovigilance and Project Management Professional (PMP) certification from prestigious Project Management Institute (PMI).

Training/teaching is my passion and always trying to do something innovative for better patient safety.

Apart from a pharma professional, I am mother of one naughty boy, dutiful daughter, caring sister and a supporting wife.
