Dr Preeti Bakrania

I obtained my PhD in Biochemisty at the National Institute for Medical Research and have more than 20 years research experience working in a number of disease areas with postdoctoral roles held within UCL, University of Cambridge and University of Oxford. I have been at LifeArc for 13 years and have experience of both small molecule and biologics drug discovery working on range of diverse target classes and disease areas. I currently head up the antibody engineering and humanisation group at LifeArc, manage the Biotech Collaboration humanisation portfolio and LifeArc’s internal portfolio to generate fully human antibodies with excellent biophysical properties for pre-clinical development using the Intelliselect® Technology Platform. I am a passionate scientist that thrives on the successful delivery of drug discovery programs to the clinic for the benefit of patients and have a proven scientific track record of publications and co-inventorship on a number of patents.
