Summary
- I am a Board Certified Medical Oncologist and a physician scientist who specializes in treating gastrointestinal, neuroendocrine and rare tumors like mesotheliomas. My research interests include development of novel early phase clinical trials and discovery of novel anti-cancer therapies esp. those that target the epigenome and other interesting cancer targets.
My career has been eclectic and I consider myself as a senior academic physician executive with excellent leadership and broad development
skills, business acumen and track record of success. Here are some of my skills-
• World – recognized leader in early phase drug development and discovery
• Instrumental in advancing several drugs (biologics and small molecules) from pre-clinical
(discovery) evaluation through Phases I-III in oncology and immunology
• Academic expertise in Program Creation including starting and growing Phase 1 programs and Experimental Therapeutic Programs
• Leadership of Cancer Centers and PO1 grant filings
• Developed Cancer centers to Comprehensive status
• Extensive network for clinical research including Academia, Industry and Cooperative Groups
• FDA interactions from Phase 1 to Phase 3, IND to NDA filings
I have started many biotechnology companies. These include Beta-Cat Pharmaceuticals (Now Iterion Pharma), Salarius Pharmaceuticals (NSDX:SLRX) and Stingray Pharmaceuticals. I am on the Scientific Advisory Board of many biotechnology companies. I have a MBA from University of Massachusetts- Amherst.
I derive my inspiration from brave souls who face this disease and also from my mother who pioneered the development of oncology in India and was a trailblazer in her time.
