About the editors
Dr. Kunda is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at the St. John’s University, New York, USA. Prior to joining St. John’s, Dr. Kunda was a post-doctoral fellow at the College of Pharmacy, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, with a research focus in aerosol drug and vaccine delivery. Dr. Kunda received his Bachelor’s in Pharmacy (Honors) from Birla Institute of Technology & Science-Pilani(BITS-Pilani), India, Master’s in Drug Delivery from the London School of Pharmacy, London, UK and a Ph.D. in Formulation and Drug Delivery from Liverpool John Moores University in Liverpool, UK. Dr. Kunda’s dissertation focused on developing a novel pneumococcal vaccine that can be inhaled as a dry powder.
Dr. Kunda’s research is multi-disciplinary and his current research interests include the use of nanotechnology in developing therapeutics against infectious disease and cancer, synthesizing polymeric nanoparticles and attaching targeting moieties for site-specific delivery, formulation of amorphous solid dispersions, immunotherapy, and drug and vaccine formulation for pulmonary delivery. Dr. Kunda’s laboratory specializes in developing dry powder biologics that do not require cold-chain for storage and transport thereby decreasing the cost of biologics-based products significantly. Dr. Kunda serves as an editorial board member of PLoS One and as a Review Editor for the Vaccines and Molecular Therapeutics section of the Frontiers in Immunology and Frontiers in Public Health journals. In addition, Dr. Kunda acts a reviewer for many high-impact journals such as International Journal of Pharmaceutics, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Toxicology in vitro, Pharmaceutics, Microorganisms, Pharmaceuticals, Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, and PLoS One.
