Piyush Modak

Piyush has led the development of 5 specific scientific and technical breakthroughs necessary for the development of PLEXimine™ technology. She pioneered the first use of two key technologies for the processing and control of polysaccharides. Piyush has built a team of scientific contributors in chemistry, characterization techniques, purification and chemical engineering to help create PLEXimine. Working with external laboratories, she led the development of the cycles for SEC-MALS for use in both starting material characterization and in-process controls of absolute molecular weight distributions of the polysaccharides. Piyush earned a BTech degree in Information Technology from University of Mumbai, and received a MS in biomedical engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology.
