Mohammad Asif Ali is a doctoral candidate at the Transdermal Research Laboratory at Long Island University, Brooklyn. His current work involves understanding dermal kinetics of drugs from topical drug delivery products (TDDP). Asif’s expertise includes analytical method development of micro and macromolecules, bioavailability and bioequivalence assessment of dermal formulations at the preclinical stage, modeling of invitro/exvivo data and simulation of its invivo dermal kinetic profile. After his bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Asif was involved with Product Development in the Indian generic pharmaceutical industry for several years and was involved in the filling of ANDAs of numerous products. He moved on to earn his master’s degree in cardiovascular pharmacology and toxicology from Jadavpur University where he also took interest in understanding gene expression studies before moving to the USA for his doctoral study. Asif has expanded his horizon of knowledge across different avenues within the pharmaceutical fraternity and extended his professional networking by active participation in the activities of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS).

Mr. Mohammad Asif Ali is involved in the dermal microdialysis of micro and macromolecules from TDDPs for BA/BE assessment. His interest lies in designing experimental methodologies for BA/BE assessment in-vivo and ex-vivo, and expand his knowledge to biologics.
