ABOUT BASANTH BABU EEDARA

My primary research interest is in the development and evaluation (physicochemical and biological) of novel inhalable drug formulations for treating lung conditions such as tuberculosis, COPD, and asthma. My research goal is to deliver drugs in a targeted manner to prolong, localize, and have a protected drug interaction with the diseased tissue in the lungs.Techniques used for the development and evaluation of inhalable dry powder formulations include drying techniques (spray drying, freeze-drying), aerosolization studies (Next Generation Impactor, Twin Stage Impinger), solid-state characterization methods (XRPD, DSC, TGA, hot stage microscope, FTIR), surface characterization techniques (EDX, XPS, ToFSIMS), particle sizing (PCS, laser diffraction), electron microscopy, dissolution studies, release studies, STELLA modeling, analytical methods particularly HPLC.
