Prasun Mishra discovered the role for noncoding RNA in drug resistance and pharmacogenomics. His passion for drug development and precision medicine has led to identification of new drug targets, biomarkers, companion diagnostics, and mechanisms of action/resistance of both new and established drugs, which has facilitated development of rational drug combinations in the clinic. His distinct research/managerial experience in big pharma, government, academia, start-up & healthcare settings span multiple therapeutic areas, including oncology, inflammation, fibrosis and aging. He has expertise in diverse target classes (including enzymes, kinase, transcription factors, epigenetic & protein-protein interactions modulators) and drugs (from small molecules to biologics, including monoclonal antibodies, ADCs-antibody drug conjugates, peptides, protein degraders & natural products) as well as cell/gene/RNA based therapeutics. Moreover, discoveries lead by Dr. Mishra and his teams have contributed to the development of new and viable strategies of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients in the clinic.
