Bravado Pharmaceuticals is pleased to welcome our first intern from the USF Health Teneja College of Pharmacy MS in Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology program. We are proud to be affiliated with Dr. Kevin Sneed, Dean of USF Teneja College of Pharmacy and Dr. Shyam S. Mohapatra, Associate Dean of Graduate Programs and Director of USF Center for Research & Education in Nanobioengineering. “The Master’s in Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology is designed to train students in the skills needed to understand the technological advances in science at the nanoscale and how nanomaterials and processes can be applied to drug delivery, diagnosis, treatment monitoring, tissue regeneration, personalized medicine and more.” At Bravado we continue to try to "not only give back the experience we've learned but pay it forward"! Somewhere along the way many people have helped us in our careers and we hope to do the same for future Scientists whatever path they choose.

Yesterday we had lunch with MG America at Mello Mushroom Wesley Chapel FL. Left to right Jim McKee, James Enman from MG, myself, Brandon and Shannon Kennedy from Bravado Pharmaceuticals. It's always fantastic to catch up with old friends and great colleagues over good food. I've done a lot of business with Jim McKee in the past when I was VP and co-founder of CoreRx.

It’s definitely been a challenging year for me personally, but sometimes you need to stop and smell the roses. Look at the good things that have happened. My proudest moment so far was again being appointed as volunteer faculty at the Taneja USF College of Pharmacy as an Assistant, Professor in the department of graduate programs. The good always outweighs the bad you just have to look at the glass half full side. Thank you God for where we are and pray for Bravado Pharmaceuticals as we try to survive in this struggling economy. We're making it one project at a time after a "rough start date" of 02 Mar 2020. They always call me Dr. even though I point out I didn't finish up that important "little thing" called a thesis and research. That said I will eventually finish at either UF or USF, as I love both schools and it is a life goal I plan to achieve.

If you are working with a molecule and or formula that is sensitive to moisture, oxidation or a potent compound, Bravado Pharmaceuticals has capability with our Isolation box to develop your formulation and or process small scale in our isolation box.

I am proud to announce Bravado Pharmaceuticals is going to begin rotation of MS Nanotechnology and PharmD students this Fall from the "Taneja College of Pharmacy, USF Health" for internship. This will be one of my proudest professional moments to help both USF students and eventually I hope University of Florida students. It will help the kids and give us a potential talent pool to hire from as we try to reach our future goals in Pharmaceutical Drug Development. As the great Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes always said "you can never pay back but you can always pay forward". I have lived my life by that motto and I've had colleagues from the past I've helped, come back and help me for virtually nothing to build Bravado to what it is. That includes chemists, formulators, and engineers I have worked with through the years. We need to give back what we have been privileged to learn in our careers, teach, so these students can transcend the Arena of Pharmaceutical Development in the future and take it to the next level. As always "Go Bravado" and "Go Bulls"!

Back on the horse tomorrow. Or in this Case "Pony". I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. TGIM and NK!
