Bio

Dr. Dave received his bachelor's degree in pharmacy with distinction from University of Pune, India in 2000, and a master's degree in pharmaceutical sciences from Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Pune, India in 2002.

After completion of his master’s degree, Dr. Dave joined Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, India as a junior research fellow. He was involved in a project related to the development and evaluation of anti-arthritis formulations. Later he worked with Lupin Pharmaceutical Pvt. Ltd. as a research associate.

Dr. Dave pursued Ph.D. in pharmaceutics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (2004-2009). During his Ph.D., Dr. Dave worked on several research projects including formulation of extended-release matrix tablets via roller-compaction, pre-formulation studies on common pharmaceutical excipients, near-infrared imaging studies to model properties of roller-compacted excipients; and chemometric analysis and development of prediction models with NIR spectroscopy for evaluating functional attributes of extended-release tablet matrices.

In 2009, Dr. Dave accepted a position at Lubrizol Corporation, a specialty chemical company manufacturing pharmaceutical excipients. His role at Lubrizol was to identify, plan, and execute research projects that contributed towards understanding and developing applications for Carbomer polymers in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

At the Wegmans School of Pharmacy, Dr. Dave is the course coordinator and co-teaches Pharmaceutics-I. He also co-teaches Applied Pharmaceutics-II. His primary areas of research interests include excipient characterization (physical, chemical, and mechanical) and functionality, solubility enhancement, pre-formulation and formulation aspects of immediate- and extended-release oral solid dosage forms, and the use of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) based non-invasive analytical tools for the characterization of oral solid dosage forms.

Dr. Dave serves on the editorial advisory board of the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, American Pharmaceutical Review, and Journal of Excipients and Food Chemicals. He also serves as an expert on the Excipient Monograph Committee of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Dr. Dave is an invited peer reviewer for several scientific journals including Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy. He is also a member of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), and Compaction Simulation Forum (CSF).

Over the years, he has been the recipient of several awards and recognitions including Rho-Chi Honor Society membership, Graduate Student of the Month, Best Poster Presentation, Teacher of the Year (2013), and multiple travel awards.
