About Kishor J

I am a Quality Control Microbiologist with professional experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing, specializing in microbiological testing, environmental monitoring, and regulatory compliance under GMP/GLP/WHO standards. My expertise spans MLT, Sterility, BET, GPT testing, process validation, and cleaning validation, ensuring product safety and audit readiness in high-compliance environments.At Juggat Pharma, I lead microbiology lab operations including sterility testing of IV injections and topical solutions, environmental and personnel monitoring, water analysis, and raw-to-finished product testing. I’ve successfully coordinated multi-departmental audit preparations (FSSAI, USV, HUL, and customer inspections), consistently achieving 100% compliance through meticulous SOP documentation, COA preparation, and adherence to WHO/GMP frameworks.I hold an M.Sc. in Microbiology (Bangalore University) with research experience on bioactive compounds from Alternanthera ficoidea, demonstrating antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. This academic background complements my practical pharmaceutical expertise and interest in translational research.With strong skills in instrument calibration (autoclaves, BOD incubators, biosafety cabinets, pH meters), contamination risk assessment, and QA documentation, I bring precision, teamwork, and adaptability to international regulatory standards, including EU-GMP and EMA frameworks. Key Highlights• Expertise in pharma microbiological testing: MLT, Sterility, BET, GPT, stability samples, and raw-to-finished product testing.• Skilled in environmental monitoring of aseptic/non-aseptic areas, surface & personnel monitoring, and sterile packaging analysis.• Hands-on with instrument calibration & lab automation systems under GLP standards.• Achieved 100% compliance in audits (FSSAI, HUL, USV, customer inspections).• Experienced in process validation, cleaning validation, and contamination risk assessments.• Research experience in antibacterial & antioxidant compounds with pharmaceutical applications.• Strong documentation and QA orientation, adaptable to EU-GMP and EMA standards.Let’s connect if you’re looking for a detail-oriented, audit-ready microbiologist who ensures quality without compromise.
