Dr. Bakul Bhatnagar is an Associate Research Fellow within BioTherapeutics Pharmaceutical Sciences Pharmaceutical Research & Development at Pfizer in Andover, MA.

Bakul earned a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Science from the University of Connecticut followed by post-doctoral research at the University of Minnesota.

At Pfizer, Bakul supports formulation and process development of biologics along with technology development in freeze-drying.

Webinar Abstract
A short reconstitution is a desirable attribute of a lyophilized drug product. Reconstitution times, however, can be much longer for dried high protein concentration presentations. Several formulation and process strategies exist to shorten the reconstitution times along with efforts to identify key mechanisms contributing to reconstitution.

What will the webinar cover?

• Understanding the contributions to long and variable reconstitution times of highly concentrated, freeze-dried proteins
• Approaches to mitigate the slow reconstitution of dried biologics
• Connecting the dots – Vial reconstitution practices in clinical settings
