Ramanathan brings more than 30 years of biopharmaceutical leadership spanning drug development, global product launches, commercialization, and external innovation to BRC as the company advances its pipeline and prepares for its next phase of growth. Ramanathan joins BRC from Danaher Corporation, where he served as Vice President and Global Head of Innovation Hubs and Head of External Innovation, Life Sciences Innovation Group (LSIG) building a funnel of product-oriented partnerships across genomic medicine, diagnostics, LSIG, and biomanufacturing. Prior to Danaher, he spent more than 12 years at Bayer, most recently as Global Head of Pharma R&D Open Innovation, where he chaired the Open Innovation Committee overseeing an annual investment budget of more than $90 million across more than 50 academic and biotech partnerships. While leading Bayer's East Coast Innovation Center in Cambridge, MA, Ramanathan built major partnerships with the Broad Institute, MassGeneral Brigham, and Johns Hopkins University. Earlier in his career, Ramanathan led global launch teams behind two approved therapies (Bosulif(R), Aliqopa(R) and contributed to the launches of Orencia(R), and Sprycel(R) across roles at Wyeth (now Pfizer), Bristol Myers Squibb, and Bayer. As the Head of oncology strategic marketing, he grew Bayer's oncology clinical portfolio from two assets to fifteen over five years. His experience spans the full spectrum of drug development and commercialization: external innovation, product development, companion diagnostics strategy, portfolio and launch planning, and building cross-functional global teams across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. "Chandra has spent his career doing precisely what BRC needs next: progressing promising science into the next phase of clinical development and ultimately into approved medicines that reach patients, based on proven growth strategies and commercial infrastructure to get there," said George Hodgin, Founder and CEO of BRC Therapeutics. "He has led launches at some of the most respected companies in our industry, built innovation engines from the ground up, and has a rare ability to move fluidly between science, innovation strategy, and commercial strategy. As we advance our pipeline in CRPS, AIIA, RLS and additional indications and prepare for our next phase of growth, Chandra's judgment, expertise and experience will be invaluable." "BRC is pursuing something genuinely novel: FDA-regulated cannabinoid medicines for patients with too few good options. The company's foundation is innovative science, a strong intellectual property estate, unique and evolving regulatory approach, and an unwavering drive to make a difference for patients," said Chandra Ramanathan. "I've spent my entire career helping companies bridge early science and commercial reality, and I see that same opportunity here. I'm excited to work alongside George and the BRC team as the company moves toward pivotal trials, new opportunities, and ultimately helping patients." Ramanathan currently serves as Chairperson of the Board of Directors of Nucleate, a nonprofit developing the next generation of biotech entrepreneurs, and holds board and advisory roles with the McLean Hospital, the Johns Hopkins University Innovation, Development & Entrepreneurial Advisory Board and Harvard Business School Blavatnik Fellowship Council. He was also a board member with MassBIO and Chair of the Innovation Committee where he recently finished his 9-year term.
