PK Biosciences

PK Bio is working towards developing innovative oral medicines targeting to improve the health of patients with neurodegenerative diseases. PK Bios innovative medicines are targeted against selective cell death signaling molecules, which are involved in the cell survival and apoptotic cell death observed in many neurodegenerative disorders includin... g Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinsons, Alzheimers and Huntington diseases. PK Bios small molecule therapeutics candidates provide a novel neuroprotective and anti-neuroinflammatory approach designed to maximize clinical outcome and limit off-target effects. PK Bio is a private held company with corporate values. We strive for excellence, high level of productivity, conduct with integrity & high ethical standards. We respect the functional expertise and role of our colleagues. We value diversity in culture, experiences and work style. Dr. Anumantha G. Kanthasamy has over 30 years of research experience in neuroscience, pharmacology, and toxicology. Dr. Kanthasamy is also Distinguished Professor and the Eugene and Linda Lloyd Endowed Chair of Neurotoxicology in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University. He is also the chair of the Interdepartmental Toxicology Graduate Program and is the founding director of the Iowa Center for Advanced Neurotoxicology (ICAN). Prior to joining ISU, he was a faculty member in the Department of Neurology, University of California, Irvine, CA, and was a researcher at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. He has worked as a scientist in various pharmaceutical industries. Currently, Dr. Kanthasamys research is focused primarily in the areas of neuropharmacology and neurotoxicology, His major study emphasis is on cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with oxidative cell death signaling pathways as they relate to the pathogenesis of Parkinsons disease and other associated neurological disorders. In support of the neuronpharmacological and toxicological research being ...Read More
