Biography
PavanKumar
Gangireddy born in a village Simhadripuram, Andhra Pradesh state, India,
in the year 1978. He graduated from the Sri Venkateawara University, Thirupathi
(2000) and completed Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Srivari Chandrasekhar

research at University of Rennes 1, France (2011-2013) and
subsequently to Emory University, USA (2013-2017) where he contributed for the
significant inventions in the field of catalysis (a novel peptide catalyst) and
novel therapeutics for neurodegenerative disorders (positive allosteric
modulators of NMDA receptor). Thereafter, he served as an assistant
professor in the medicinal chemistry department at NIPER-Hyderabad for 1.5 year where he developed BIT as an efficient and
recyclable reagent for solid phase peptide synthesis. After scientific and professional enrichment, he was co-founded contract
research and manufacturing service company NSJ Prayog Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd.,
for translating innovative academic research into industrial applications.
