Raja Shekhar Gangaraju, MS, PhD

I have a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology with a wealth of experience in preclinical pharmacology, animal model development, and drug discovery, as learned from both academia and industry. I have excellent attention to detail, methods, and interpretation of scientific data, as evidenced by many peer-reviewed publications. As part of my research, I have successfully collaborated with personnel at Eli Lilly (USA), Cosmix Therapeutics (Germany), and Bayer Pharmaceuticals (Germany). About 8 years back, I co-founded Cell-Care Therapeutics, Inc., a California-based startup focusing on Regenerative Medicine. My successful collaborations led to several peer-reviewed publications, conference abstracts, and patent applications for each project. My experience working in an academic environment, combined with the rigorous regulatory environment of an industry, molded me to be a top-notch scientist. These experiences will undoubtedly help any future project I undertake.
