Work Experience

Assistant Manager
Since Jan 2015
Company Profile: Manufacturer of Coronary Stents, Balloon Catheters, Surgical Laser Machine. 
Job Profile:
Research and development of bioabsorbable coronary stent and drug eluting balloon.
Both these projects involve extensive use of polymers (esp. biodegradable polymers such as, PLA, PLGA) for the backbone fabrication of device as well as coating on device.
Manipulation of molecular weight and chemistry of polymer to achieve the desired mechanical and drug release properties.
Development of instruments for processing and analysis of coronary stent delivery system such as, tensile testing machine, radial strength testing machine, tractability and pushability testing device, balloon coating device etc.
Providing inputs in stent design, drug coating formulation development and balloon catheter improvisation.
