Biography
Kamalinder K Singh is Professor of Pharmaceutical Technology and Drug delivery at School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, University of Central Lancashire. After graduating from Panjab University, Chandigarh, Kamalinder joined SNDT Women’s University, Mumbai in 1984 as Lecturer in Pharmaceutics and subsequently promoted to Reader in 1993 and Professor of Pharmaceutics in 2001 and later held the position of Principal C. U Shah College of Pharmacy within SNDT Women’s University. She has supervised over 20 Ph. D students and ongoing research programmes focus on nanoparticulate drug delivery systems including protein based nanoparticles, lipid nanostructures, nanosuspensions, lipospheres, microspheres, taste masking and nanophytopharmaceuticals and span the following areas of development; pre-formulation; formulation development; physicochemical assessment; stability assessment and prediction; in-vitro performance tests, transport; pharmacokinetics and bio-distribution and in vitro-in vivo correlation. These drug delivery strategies are primarily being investigated for cancer, parasitic diseases and dermatological conditions either alone or in combination to prepare mixed nano-systems for delivery of single drug or co-delivery of multi-agents. She has particular research interest in development of nanocarrier systems for selective targeting to parasitized RBCs for effective treatment of malaria. She has a number of successful collaborations with other universities, and pharmaceutical industry leading to publications and development of new products and hold several patents in the pharmaceutical area.
