Recognized among the World’s Top 2% Scientists (2025) by Stanford University and Elsevier, Dr. Pradhan is a distinguished researcher focusing on topical and transdermal drug delivery systems for psoriasis treatment. Her expertise spans preformulation studies, formulation development, and preclinical pharmacokinetics, incorporating advanced methodologies such as Quality by Design (QbD), Design of Experiment (DOE), and preclinical animal model development. With an H-index of 28 and I-10 index of 43, Dr. Pradhan has published extensively in high-impact journals, including the Journal of Controlled Release, International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, and Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology. She has authored over 80 research articles and 20 book chapters with leading publishers such as Elsevier, Springer Nature, and CRC Press. Her innovative research has led to two granted patents (Australia and India) in nanomedicine and pharmaceutical technology. Dr. Pradhan has received several prestigious recognitions, including the Chhattisgarh Young Scientist Award (2015), UGC-BSR Meritorious Fellowship (2012–2015), and International Travel Fellowships to present her research in the USA, Singapore, and Malaysia. She has also served as Guest Editor for reputed journals such as Current Pharmaceutical Design and Drug Delivery Letters. Her research expertise encompasses nanoparticles, exosome delivery systems, nanovesicles, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), and hydrogels for controlled drug release. Her current research focuses on cancer-targeted delivery systems and psoriasis therapeutics, contributing to the translation of pharmaceutical nanotechnology from bench to bedside.Krishna Yadav is an Assistant Professor at School of Pharmacy, Rungta International Skills University, Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, India, with over eight years of academic and research experience in pharmaceutics and novel drug delivery systems.
