Vikram Yadav, assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, was recognized by Medicine Maker Magazine as one of the top 100 most influential people in drug development and manufacturing.
Yadav was recognized for his multidisciplinary work that combines biology, chemistry and engineering to develop new methods to discover and synthesize better drugs. His work on ‘biosynthonics’ – a process for drug discovery and development based on metabolic and enzyme engineering – was highlighted by Medicine Maker Magazine. He is also working with colleagues from the biopharmaceutical industry and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences to develop a more accurate and rapid pre-clinical screening platform for identifying drugs targeting neurodegeneration.
