Dr. Dave is also acting as regular reviewer for national and international journals published by Wiley, Springer, Elsevier, BMC, etc.

Deependra Singh, PhD, is presently working at the University Institute of Pharmacy, Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. He is also a central council member and chairman of the Education Regulations Committee of the Pharmacy Council of India. He has been featured among Top 2% Scientists Across the World in the field of Pharmacy and Pharmacology since 2020 by Stanford University, USA. He has around 20 years of teaching and research experience. His primary research areas include formulation of multiple bioactive delivery systems, such as multiphase hydrogels, nanosystems, microspheres for wound management, advanced statistical and mathematical modeling methods, tissue culture techniques, and more. He has to his credit more than 100 research and review papers published in national and international journals, 25 book chapters, and two books (Elsevier). He has successfully completed projects funded by the Indian University Grants Commission, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Indian Department of Science and Technology (DST), as well as several industrial projects. He holds two international and two Indian patents. He has also filed for two patents. He received a number of prestigious awards. He was a visiting scientist at National Center for Natural Products Research, School of Pharmacy, University of Mississippi, Mississippi USA.

Pallerla Naveen Reddy completed his MPharm from the Central University of South Bihar, India, and after that worked as a Trainee Research Associate at Hetero Labs, India, on various complex, simple ophthalmic ANDA formulations and also on 505(b)(2) formulation at the research and development and plant level. He also worked as a postgraduate research trainee at the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute, Faridabad, India, on identifying the role of various inflammasomes and drug screening for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and lung inflammation. He is skilled in handling different formulation-related equipment, molecular techniques, and cell culture methods. He participated in a Laboratory Animal Techniques for Preclinical Research Workshop sponsored by the Science and Engineering Research Board of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research–Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine (CSIR–IIIM), and he has also actively participated in national and international conferences.
