Bashir
I have a Bachelor degree (BPharm) in Pharmacy, PhD in Pharmaceutics (both from UCL) and I am a member of the General Pharmaceutical Council and Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
Initially, I started my research career as a scientist working for a probiotic company, supporting the R&D department in product development. Following this, as a Postdoctoral research Associate at UCL School of Pharmacy, working for Dr Sudax Murdan (Associate Professor, UCL), I have studied both veterinary and human vaccines with particular emphasis on mucosal immunisation.
I am currently an associate lecturer in the department of pharmaceutics at UCL, school of pharmacy where I teach students on the MPharm course, and supervise undergraduate and postgraduate research projects.
