Md Iftekhar Ahmad, a dedicated academic and researcher in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. I began my journey in pharmacy by earning my Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) degree from Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, in 2003. Building upon this foundation, I pursued a Master of Pharmacy (M.Pharm) in Pharmaceutics from the prestigious Manipal Academy of Higher Education, completing the program in 2005. Following my postgraduate studies, I embarked on a career in academia, serving as a lecturer from 2005 to 2010 in Qassim University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. During this period, I actively contributed to teaching and mentoring students while also gaining valuable experience in pharmaceutical education and research.In 2011, I was awarded a full scholarship to pursue a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Technology at Prince of Songkla University, Hatyai, Thailand. Over the course of my doctoral studies (2011–2014), I focused on advancing pharmaceutical technologies through research, ultimately earning my Ph.D. in 2014. My passion for research led me to further enhance my expertise through postdoctoral research at the same university from 2015 to 2017, where I continued working on cutting-edge pharmaceutical innovations. In 2018, I joined Shri Gopichand College of Pharmacy as a professor. Since then, I have been actively engaged in teaching, research, and academic development, contributing to the growth of the institution and the advancement of pharmaceutical education.
