Dr. Madhukar Saxena
Dr. Saxena has established himself as a prolific author, publishing numerous articles and reviews in prestigious, peer-reviewed journals. His scholarly contributions also include books that have gained international acclaim, solidifying his reputation as a thought leader in his field. A central theme of his research is the exploration and elucidation of the intricate inflammatory networks that are key drivers of metabolic disorders, particularly Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). His work has been instrumental in explaining how chronic, low-grade inflammation can contribute to insulin resistance and other disease pathologies. His core expertise is built on a foundation of several key disciplines including Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry, Preclinical Toxicology and Bioinformatics.
A hallmark of Dr. Saxena’s scientific approach is his deep commitment to understanding the fundamental mechanisms of disease. His findings help pinpoint potential therapeutic targets and predict how new drugs might interact with the body.
Dr. Saxena’s professional journey reflects a steady ascent into scientific leadership. He eventually rose to the position of Vice President at Chemzin Biotox Research Institute. In this leadership role, he has worked closely with a wide range of organizations, including government bodies, academic institutions, and Contract Research Organizations (CROs). These partnerships have been vital for translating his scientific discoveries into practical applications.
Notably, Dr. Saxena has played a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction for NBI formulations. His expertise has been critical in developing detailed roadmaps for the essential preclinical animal studies required for regulatory approval. This work highlights his comprehensive knowledge, not just in basic research, but also in the crucial steps of drug development and regulatory science.
