Alpana Pande

With over 20 years of experience as a Scientific Officer, including a senior management role in Analytical R&D, I bring deep expertise in leading high-performing analytical research laboratories. My experience spans complex assay development, stability studies, and formulation and product development—all conducted with rigorous regulatory compliance to ensure product quality and integrity. I have hands-on expertise in advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC, GC, UV spectrophotometry, IR, and LCMS/GCMS, enabling precise identification and quantification for scientifically robust results.

I manage every aspect of laboratory operations, from in-house testing to coordination with third-party laboratories, ensuring smooth integration and full regulatory compliance. My role also involves overseeing laboratory audits to maintain adherence to industry standards. My scientific contributions, including published work on method development and LCMS characterization of natural products, underscore my ability to communicate complex research effectively. Additionally, I possess extensive knowledge of regulatory requirements for dietary supplements and OTC product labeling, ensuring full compliance.

Driven by curiosity and a commitment to excellence, I thrive in roles that require both innovation and the highest standards of scientific rigor
