Vineet Gupta, PhD
Principal Investigator<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a scientist, an inventor and an entrepreneur. My core belief is that we ought to help patients in our own lifetime by developing new scientific insights, therapeutics, and diagnostics and by doing all we can to move them from the bench to the bedside. This generally means doing all the initial, high-risk development and proof-of-concept work ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I received my MS in Chemistry from IIT Delhi and my PhD in Chemistry from University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. My post-doctoral training in Biomedical Research and Structural Biology was at the Rockefeller University in New York City and at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I previously held faculty positions at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, at Miller School of Medicine at University of Miami, and at Rush Medical College at Rush University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
