ABOUT RIYA WAKODE
Driven drug discovery researcher with expertise across organic synthesis, pharmacological techniques, and analytical chemistry. Currently pursuing an MSc in Drug Discovery at the University of Nottingham, building on a strong foundation gained during my Bachelor\'s in Pharmaceutical Sciences.Through my graduate research optimizing P2Y2 receptor antagonists, I have honed my skills in SAR analysis, reaction planning, purification methods, and pharmacological assays. My project involved designing synthetic routes, employing HPLC/NMR, and evaluating compounds in functional assays.My undergraduate thesis focused on the extraction, characterization, and nanoformulation of chia seed oil. This provided proficiency in natural product isolation, phytochemical analysis, and drug delivery systems. My academic projects have enhanced my critical thinking, problem-solving, and science communication abilities. I am passionate about collaborating across teams to bring novel therapeutics to patients.As an intern at Enaltec Pharma, I assisted in formulating and optimizing oral solid dosage forms by conducting dissolution testing, stability evaluations, and excipient screening. This allowed me to hone my pharmaceutical analysis and technical reporting skills.Previous work experience as a retail assistant at Primark and Boots developed my time management, customer service, and teamwork capabilities.
