Dr. Kailas Madhukar Karande is a senior academician, researcher, and pharmacy educator with over eighteen years of experience spanning teaching, research, academic administration, and professional training in pharmaceutical sciences. He currently serves as Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutics at Arvind Gavali College of Pharmacy, Satara, and as the Chief Editor of Global Scientia Perspectives. In this role, he provides strategic editorial leadership with a strong commitment to promoting high-quality, ethical, and interdisciplinary scientific research that addresses real-world healthcare and societal challenges.

Dr. Karande’s research work is primarily focused on advanced pharmaceutical drug formulations, with particular emphasis on novel drug delivery systems. His areas of expertise include nanotechnology-based formulations, excipient innovation, fast-dissolving dosage forms, self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), microneedle-based transdermal delivery, and formulation optimization using design-based and statistical approaches. His doctoral and post-doctoral research has contributed significantly to nanosilver synthesis, enhancement of phase solubility of poorly water soluble drugs, and biopharmaceutical prediction models, strengthening the scientific understanding of formulation-driven performance improvement.

He has authored and co-authored more than twenty-five peer-reviewed research and review articles published in reputed national and international journals. His publications cover a wide spectrum of pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical biotechnology, nanomedicine, herbal drug research, and biopharmaceutics. A defining feature of his research output is its strong translational orientation, effectively linking laboratory-level formulation science with therapeutic relevance and industrial applicability.

Dr. Karande has also made substantial contributions to innovation and intellectual property generation. He holds multiple granted and filed patents and design registrations covering pharmaceutical devices, formulation-related laboratory equipment, wearable healthcare technologies for early disease detection, and advanced phytophospholipid-based delivery systems for plant-derived actives. His intellectual property portfolio reflects a consistent focus on translational research, affordable healthcare technologies, and practical pharmaceutical engineering solutions.

A significant component of Dr. Karande’s professional work is dedicated to community pharmacy development and pharmacist capacity building. He has served as an expert resource person for the Maharashtra State Pharmacy Council (MSPC), delivering numerous refresher and continuing education programs across Maharashtra. These programs have focused on critical practice-oriented areas such as drug storage, pharmacy management, smart patient counseling, and professional standards, thereby directly contributing to the strengthening of community pharmacy services and patient-centered healthcare delivery.

In addition to his research and professional service, Dr. Karande has held several important academic and administrative responsibilities. He has also worked as Chief Coordinator for an advanced training program conducted in association with IIT Kharagpur, focusing on regulatory affairs, pharmacovigilance, and advanced manufacturing domains, reflecting his engagement with nationally significant academic collaborations. Dr. Karande has actively guided undergraduate and postgraduate research projects, with several of his students receiving state-level and national awards in research presentations, innovation challenges, and startup competitions. These achievements highlight his strong mentorship abilities and his emphasis on outcome-oriented, application-driven education. Beyond core pharmaceutics, Dr. Karande promotes interdisciplinary research that integrates healthcare, biotechnology, agriculture-based natural products, environmental science, and Ayurveda. He particularly encourages research that scientifically validates traditional knowledge systems through modern formulation science and evidence-based approaches. This broad, integrative vision strongly influences his editorial philosophy.

As Chief Editor of Global Scientia Perspectives, Dr. Karande is committed to maintaining rigorous peer-review standards, ethical publication practices, and global scientific relevance. He envisions the journal as a credible international platform that supports original research, applied innovations, and meaningful cross-disciplinary dialogue, with special encouragement for emerging researchers and institutions worldwide.
