Meet Keerthana

At SPI Pharma, innovation doesn't happen by accident — it's the result of dedicated scientists working every day to solve complex challenges and push the boundaries of pharmaceutical formulation. In the latest installment of our Meet the Experts series, we sat down with Keerthana Bhandarkar, a Research Associate on our Formulation team, to learn more about her work and what drives her passion for the science.

A Role Rooted in Problem-Solving

Keerthana's day-to-day is anything but routine. As part of SPI's formulation group, she works alongside the analytical team to develop, test, and refine pharmaceutical formulations — with troubleshooting as a core part of the process. For Keerthana, that challenge is exactly what makes the work rewarding. The collaborative dynamic between the formulation and analytical teams allows SPI to deliver stronger, more reliable results for the clients and partners we serve.

What Formulation Means at SPI

Formulation science is the bridge between active pharmaceutical ingredients and the finished products that reach patients. At SPI Pharma, that work demands both rigorous technical expertise and a creative, solutions-oriented mindset. Keerthana and her colleagues bring both to the table every day — working through complexity to find answers that matter.

Growing with SPI

Keerthana's journey at SPI reflects the kind of career development the company prides itself on providing scientists with the support, tools, and collaborative environment they need to do their best work. Her story is one of many that illustrates the depth of talent and commitment driving SPI Pharma forward.
