About Madhu Sevvana

I transform molecular complexity into therapeutics by bridging advanced research and real-world impact. Combining expertise in structural biology, biophysics, and machine learning, I translate structural insights into scientific discoveries that drive innovative drug development.I help foster cross-functional initiatives in protein design and antibody engineering while mentoring diverse scientific talent. My passion lies in uniting experimental rigor with computational power to solve complex therapeutic challenges.Beyond the lab, my curiosity takes me to mountain trails at sunrise and the fascinating intersection of traditional Ayurvedic cooking and molecular exploration bringing creativity to my scientific journey.Let\'s connect if you are passionate about: • Structural biology and therapeutic development • Women\'s leadership in STEM • Cross-cultural scientific collaboration • Making complex science accessible to all

Experience

1. Structural Biology and Protein Design (Sbpd) Integration Lead (Extended Role)

   Sanofi

   Oct 2025 — Present · Boston, MA, US

   As Structural Biology and Protein Design Integration Lead (SBPD) at Sanofi, I help shape cross-site and cross-functional strategies in protein design and therapeutic development. I lead efforts that connect structural biology insights, AI/ML-driven methods, and data-guided design to enable smarter biologics engineering. My work focuses on linking teams and disciplines across sites, coordinating structure-based design initiatives, and fostering collaboration to advance next-generation antibody discovery and development.Focus areas: cross-site collaboration, structure-enabled design, AI/ML integration, and biologics innovation.
