About Aishwarya Chandrashekar
Summary: Formulation Research Scientist in the Formulation Development group at Vertex Pharmaceuticals. PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. Curricular experience as a Co-op in Discovery Pharmaceutical Sciences at Merck Research Laboratories in Boston. Experienced in drug delivery, formulation development, and biophysical characterization particularly for polymer-based delivery systems and peptide/small molecule drugs.My expertise lies at the intersection of materials design, drug delivery, and formulation development. My doctoral research focused on PLGA-based systems for peptide therapeutics, where I investigated critical formulation variables, drug–polymer interactions, stability challenges, and bio-relevant in vitro release methods. Other projects involved developing novel polymer formulations and encapsulation techniques to enhance drug performance. Beyond peptides, I have hands-on experience with parenteral formulations for small molecules. I am motivated to leverage my background in formulation science, materials engineering, and cross-functional collaboration to help advance next-generation therapies.
