EXPERIENCE
Engaged in Production and Quality Control of Biologicals produced at Central
Research Institute since 1983. The production targets of several million doses of these
biologicals are released for various immunization programs in the country.
1. Quality Control & Quality Assurance Functions
Carrying out the Quality Control and Quality Assurance functions at Central
Research Institute. These functions are very important and form absolute prerequisites for TQM in any pharmaceutical industry. It is generally agreed upon that
TQM in any organization is a long term continuous evolving process
Various productions units are inspected and suitably advised to improve upon
and maintain cGMP in the institute’s different functions. Conversant with the
latest VALIDATION procedures viz. DQ, IQ,OQ ,CQ, PQ and also Process
Validation.

Approved and authorized more than 300 SOP's.

Licensing Procedures for the production of Immunobiologicals handled for
the last 09 years and also coordinated the inspections by outside agencies
Drugs Controller/ WHO.

Quality Control testing methods requiring animals have been reviewed in
order to reduce the usage of animals.

Training programs were arranged for staff working in this institute as well
as those coming from other institutes of the country and abroad (WHO
fellow) from time to time.
2.
Six Sigma
Six Sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for
near perfection. In fact, Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and
methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between
the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process -- from manufacturing to
transactional and from product to service.
In short, it is a quality methodology that can produce significant benefit to businesses
and organizations. I am well aware of the six sigma concept in the industry.

R & D Activity
Have 30 years of research experience in different areas of biochemistry viz.
Enzymology, molecular biology, nutritional biochemistry, neurochemistry, Genetic
Engineering and Production & QC of Biological at different institutes of the country
and abroad e.g. B.H.U., Central University of Hyderabad, University of Paris &
University of Rennes , France, HP University Shimla at Central Research Institute,
Kasauli. Published 22 outstanding research papers in national and international
journals of repute and 9 are ready for publication.
Under R & D effort, designed and developed manufacturing techniques for
the manufacture of new vaccines e.g. Meningococcal vaccine and Acellular
pertussis vaccine. Introduced new and innovative coordinated management
methods which have resulted in increased production in a time bound manner.
Developed new QC Testing methods. These New Methods developed for
quantitation of thiomersal and formaldehyde in Biologicals (Published in Biologicals,
U.K., 1995) is used routinely in the institute and has now been recommended and
included in Indian Pharmacopoeia recently in 2003.
