CEO | Life Sciences Entrepreneur | Non-Profit Advocate | TeacherI am a physician scientist with over three decades in product development.

My medical training was at the University of Mumbai and my PhD from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.As CEO of Radiomer Therapeutics, Inc., I lead development of targeted radiopharmaceuticals/radioligand therapies using our novel Raptamer platform. Radiomer, a spin-out from Fannin, will enter clinic in 1H2025.As Managing Partner at Fannin, I help lead the most active early-stage life sciences development group in Texas. I have previously served as President & COO at Agennix, advancing our lead drug into Phase 3 clinical trials and a successful sale, as Senior Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Co., and President of U.S. Operations for Reliance Life Sciences.Fannin's part-time and full-time talent development programs nurture product developers.

  • Fannin
    Managing Partner
    Fannin Jun 2013 - Present
    Houston, Texas, Us
    Fannin is the most active early-stage life sciences development group in Texas.  Fannin has over a dozen active biotech and medtech programs including two in the clinic and one in commercialization. These include assets and technologies that are in-licensed from academic institutions and those that we develop internally. Total investment across our programs exceeds $275 million. Fannin's approach to early-stage commercialization of academic research complements the more traditional academic paths of either out-licensing the technology to industry or spinning it out as a standalone VC-funded startup.  In our hybrid approach, Fannin serves as both the management team and the early investor, collaborating with the academic inventors to advance the technology, leveraging grant funding when appropriate.  When appropriately de-risked, we spin the programs out with dedicated management teams and outside funding. We evolved this approach to help address the biotech development gap in places, like Houston, that have a powerful research engine, but lack the critical mass of product development and commercialization seen in the major biotech hubs.An additional critical element to our model is helping grow our life sciences entrepreneurs locally through our talent development programs. Our program includes part-time interns and full-time fellows/product development associates, the latter accredited by the Department of Labor. Our talent development program has grown to become one of the largest of its kind, with over 320 interns, fellows, and associates in the last seven years, with our alumni active in institutions and biotech companies across our ecosystem and nationally.Below is a link to a recent podcast discussing our model:http://tinyurl.com/Atul-Podcast-Innov-Map-2024
