Vijay Gokhale

Dr. Vijay Gokhale manages Reglagene’s therapeutics discovery operations. He joined Dr. Laurence Hurley as a postdoctoral student at the University of Arizona in 2003 and contributed to the early discoveries of quadruplex drug targeting. Since that time he has managed the University of Arizona’s campus-wide medicinal chemistry activities, while continuing to discover candidate therapeutic agents that interact with quadruplex systems. His efforts at the University have also provided the intellectual property resulting in the formation of several commercial ventures (e.g., Regulonix, Fibronox). Vijay's primary technical expertise is the application of molecular modeling and computational chemistry techniques in the design and development of therapeutic agents. He was a co-founder of Tetragene and is a non-participating founder of Regulonix.
