ERP Proposal SPDS Set 2

performance evaluation and manufacture of the novel enterically-coated dosage form. I have not worked hands-on with W. somnifera during my time at the bench, however, the USP Ashwagandha monographs (Ashwagandha Root, Powdered Ashwagandha Root and Powdered Ashwagandha Root Extract) are my current responsibility; I have been collaborating with sponsors on monograph revisions, and reviewed significant volume of literature. An updated HPTLC identification method [Pharmacopeial Forum 41(5)], a soon-to-be-published new HPLC limit test, as well as the two concomitant Ashwagandha reference standard materials to be issued in the nearest future, have resulted from my engagement with the sponsors.

I hope that the Chief Science Officer and the AOAC OMB will find this information relevant in evaluating my candidacy for the Ashwagandha ERP.
