Tubercular Drug Delivery Systems

Dr. Ranjita Shegokar holds a Ph.D. degree in Pharmaceutical Technology from the SNDT University, India, and has been a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Pharmaceutics, Biopharmaceutics and NutriCosmetics at the Free University of Berlin, Germany. Since last several years she is working with various multinational pharmaceutical companies at technical/R&D leadership roles. Currently, she serves as a Chief Scientific Officer, CapnoPharm GmbH, Germany. She has authored several research articles, book chapters, and presented her research in many national/international conferences. She has filed multiple patent applications in the area of drug delivery and active targeting. Besides that, she edited many trending books on nanoparticles and their aspects. For her research, she received many prestigious national and international awards, among them the recent one is German Innovation Award 2022. Her areas of interest include polymeric nanoparticles, nanocrystals, lipid nanoparticles (SLNs/NLCs), nanoemulsions for targeting various diseases and the role of excipients in developing the same.
