<span>Professor Bhupinder Singh Bhoop is globally acclaimed for his research on novel and nanostructured drug delivery using Quality by Design (QbD) paradigms, he has contributed over three decades of dedicated service towards Pharmaceutical Education and Research. His work primarily focuses on lipidic nanostructured systems like SNEDDS (liquid, solid, supersaturable and eutectic), solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), nanoemulsions and mixed nanomicelles, polymeric nanoparticles, functionalized CNTs, and nanovesicular systems like liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes, transfersomes and bilosomes. He has to his credit over 215 publications including 9 books and 33 book chapters. More than 225 keynotes and invited talks have been delivered by him at prestigious forums in various countries. He has organized several Conferences and Symposia including International Conferences, NanoSciTech 2012 &amp; 2014. He has handled 15 research projects and guided/guiding 27 PhD, 4 post-doctorates and over 50 postgraduate scholars. He has completed over a dozen consultancy assignments and industrial projects, has 4 patents and key involvement in tech. transfers of three nano-based drug delivery products. He has duly trained several hundreds of industrial scientists under his guidance esp. QbD of nanostructured systems. His work has fetched him several awards and accolades like, Leading Educators of World (UK) 2007, Pharma Buzz Pharma Personality Award 2008, Shiksha Rattan Award 2008, Innovative Scientist Award 2012, Pharma QbD Excellence Award 2012 by CPhI-Asia, QbD Product Performance Award 2012 and 2013 by Amer Assoc Pharm Sci, USA, Outstanding Scientist Award 2014 by Select Biosciences, UK, PUTA Excellence Award 2014, and StatEase QbD Performance Award 2014, USA.
