With a background in quality control at Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Ranu recognized the need for hands-on experience and is dedicated to bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills for her students. She was also honored by the SDM for her extensive research at the Desert Medicine Research Center in Jodhpur.

Ranu Sharma is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the Pacific College of Pharmacy, Udaipur. She specializes in Medicinal Chemistry.

Ranu explains that Pharmaceutical Chemistry is divided into Medicinal Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry. Medicinal Chemistry focuses on the molecular aspects of drug action. Analytical  Chemistry deals with the qualitative and quantitative analysis of different substances using instruments such as HPLC, UV, and GC to determine the strength of drug molecules.

In 2014, Ranu was selected to do research among 51 candidates at the Desert Medicine Research Centre (DMRC) in Jodhpur. She conducted surveys in 51 villages for her research and was felicitated by the SDM for her work.

After completing her BPharm and MPharm, she started her career at Dr. Reddy's Laboratories in Hyderabad, working in the quality control department. There, she focused on the qualitative and quantitative study of drugs. However, she felt that college students were not taught enough practical knowledge, which hindered their performance in the industry. This inspired her to contribute by imparting practical skills and knowledge to students.

Originally from Kota, she spent her childhood there, learning the importance of discipline and punctuality from her grandparents. She recalls how her grandfather would wake up at 5 in the morning and take her for morning walks.

Regarding her role models, Ranu says that her grandfather has been her role model and a perfect example of simple living and high thinking. As the principal of a government college, he lived simply and politely. She also admires Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who lived simply until the very end.

She feels inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's quote, “Live and let live.” She encourages everyone to live happily and give space to their family members and colleagues.

She advises students to be good human beings first, which will make them disciplined, punctual, and polite. With these qualities, one can excel in their career.
