Victor de Albuquerque Wanderley Sales
Postdoc Research Associate, College of Engineering, VRAC Research Center - Iowa State University · Iowa State University
Biography
Pharmacist and Ph.D. in Therapeutic Innovation, I bring a blend of academic excellence and industry-aligned expertise in nanotechnology, pharmaceutical R&D, and quality systems. Currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Iowa State University, I develop and characterize advanced nanomaterials and drug delivery platforms applied to healthcare, agriculture, and food production. With an MBA in Production Engineering and Quality Management, I combine technical rigor with operational insight—skilled in GMP and process optimization. My work bridges lab-scale research with real-world industrial application, especially in drug solubility, controlled release systems, and quality control.
Education
Pharmacist (Federal University of Pernambuco - UFPE), Masters and Ph.D. in Therapeutic Innovation (UFPE); MBA in Quality Management and Production Engineering.
