Rathna J. Veeramachaneni is currently the Director of Biopharma LC-MS/MS at KCAS Bio. Rathna’s prior experience included working in the pharmaceutical and CRO space, developing quantitative methods for small and large molecule therapeutics and biomarkers. Rathna received her PhD from Duquesne University (PA, USA), working on crosslinking combined with proteomic mass spectrometry for identification of structural conformational changes in membrane ion channels.
Rathna has worked on many different biopharmaceutical modalities such as oligonucleotides (antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates, duplexes and antisense oligonucleotides), monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, fusion and chimeric proteins, as well as biomarkers for both small and large molecules, including glycosphingolipids lipids and eicosanoids. Rathna has significant expertise in hybrid LC–MS/MS, both at the protein and peptide level, along with more traditional LC–MS/MS assays utilizing protein precipitation, digestions and SPE approaches. Her therapeutic area of expertise includes indications of cancer, inflammation, neurodegenerative and rare diseases.
Rathna is passionate about using the best science to help drive and support the drug development process and advocates customized strategic approaches by incorporating notable advancements in the ever-growing field to find creative solutions that are better, faster and/or more efficient.
