Research Interest

Dr. Joshi is particularly interested in designing and developing novel drug delivery systems (NDDS), including liposomes, niosomes, polymer nanoparticles, and biomaterial-based hydrogels. To study (production and analysis) these NDDS, Dr. Joshi considers the usage of modern technologies, including but not limited to microfluidics, 3D printing, chromatography, spectroscopy, and microscopy. Dr. Joshi is always open to collaborations intended for improvements in drug delivery science.

Research Profile

Dr. Joshi’s research involves the formulation and development of age-appropriate pediatric and geriatric populations. The use of novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) such as liposomes, niosomes, polymeric nanoparticles, and biomaterial-based hydrogels can enhance the acceptability of the formulations by providing extended stability, taste masking, and easy administration. The research also involves extemporaneous formulation development that helps prepare medicines by compounding ingredients when no commercial forms are available due to age factors. Dr. Joshi’s research also explores the use of NDDS in the prophylaxis and treatment of viral and bacterial infections. Dr. Joshi’s recent publications highlight his research.
