About Parminder Singh Bhasin

I am an accomplished professional with over 26 years of rich and diversified experience in formulation research and development, with extensive expertise in formulation evaluation, ANDA operations and pharmaceutical development for multiple regulatory agencies.

What Are Your Proudest Life Science Achievements?

I successfully led formulation troubleshooting efforts and resolved methodological challenges through rigorous investigation, evaluation and development.

I pioneered literature reviews, patent analyses, pre-formulation studies and formulation development, along with troubleshooting, scale-up from R&D to production, execution of exhibit batches and interpretation of bio results across regulated (Europe, US and Asia) and non-regulated markets.

I established SOPs, STPs and KPIs, while implementing preventive and corrective actions to address root causes of quality and delivery issues.

I contributed to the review of process and product changes, claims, regulatory audits and complaints to assess regulatory requirements and ensure compliance.

I ensured adherence to regulatory standards across operations and provided strategic guidance to executives on the evolving regulatory landscape.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong leadership by guiding and motivating teams toward organizational growth, fostering a clear vision through coaching and execution and building technical expertise across diverse project requirements within pharmaceutical R&D.

What Are Your Day-to-Day Job Highlights?

I serve in a senior leadership role as Senior Director, Head of Analytical Research & Development and Head of Project Management at Synmosa, Intech Biopharm Ltd., supporting global ANDA projects for pMDI, nasal spray and DPI across US, CA, EU and APAC markets, with a focus on quality compliance.

In this role, I steer R&D CFT and GMP teams at the Taiwan site to drive global regulatory submissions for complex generics, modified dosage forms and 505(b)(2) applications across the US, EU, CA, Korea, Japan, APAC, Taiwan and other international markets, ensuring approvals and market access.

I spearhead the development of pMDI and nasal spray dosage forms to enhance therapeutic efficacy and market differentiation.

I supervise drug product analytical method development, method validation, cGMP testing and release for clinical supplies, stability studies and IVBE, while also leading project management and driving technology transfer to ensure consistency, scalability and regulatory compliance.

I lead GMP regulatory audits with expertise in ICH guidelines and CMC documentation, strengthen quality systems, conduct GMP laboratory investigations with risk mitigation strategies and support global compliance frameworks aligned with industry standards.

Additionally, I lead B2B partner collaboration models for global projects, ensuring audits of third-party contract laboratories for US FDA compliance and supporting investigations, CAPA implementation and remedial action trending for global regulatory compliance.

What Are Your Favorite Life Science Innovations?

I am particularly interested in the development of oral solid dosage forms, soft gel dosage forms, extended-release formulations and novel drug delivery systems to enhance therapeutic efficacy, patient compliance and market differentiation.
