DrWaseem Kaialy

Waseem (BPharm, PhD, FHEA) is a Senior lecturer in Pharmaceutics and the course leader for BSc(Hons) Pharmaceutical Science and MSci(Hons) Pharmaceutical Science courses at the University of Wolverhampton. Before this, Waseem obtained his BPharm degree from at 2007 following five Academic-Excellence awards and then worked as a pharmacy manager (2007 to 2008) and a Pharmacy teaching assistant (2008 to 2009) before completing his PhD studies on Pharmacy in 2013 at the University of Kent (UK) in collaboration with Pfizer LtD (UK). He then held a research associate postdoctoral post at University in Kent (2013-2014) before joining the University of Wolverhampton as a lecturer in Pharmaceutics (2014). Waseem has been a Visiting Research at Luleå University of Technology (Sweden), holding an ERAS Fellowship, and a fellowship of the higher education academy.
He has an extended knowledge in pharmaceutical science and significant experience in high-quality teaching/supervision of students in higher education in the UK at UG and PG level. He is a member of editorial board and a regular reviewer for over 25 international journals. He has over 90 publications to his credit, over 1331 citations, h-index of 23 and i10-index of 40. The overall goal of his research is to improve drug delivery through understanding and enhancing the physicochemical, mechanical, and biopharmaceutical properties of pharmaceuticals. Of particular interest is particle engineering to improve the (i) aerosolisation performance of dry powder inhalers, (ii) solubility and dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs, and (iii) flowability and tabletability of poorly compactible drugs.
