About Sindhuja Devanapally

I am interested in building strategic communication for precision medicines (e.g, siRNA, CRISPR). As an accomplished scientist with 10+ years of preclinical research experience in RNA biology (RNAi), CRISPR genome editing and epigenetics, I now work in medical communications, developing branded and disease state content strategy. I currently enjoy working in pre-launch and post market commercial medical strategy, building competitive intelligence plans and promotional content in disease therapeutics. I also bring clinical research experience in genetic diseases such as beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia from work on Middle-Eastern populations.• Curious and inquisitive • Creative, adaptable and independent• Strong cross-functional collaborator, mentor and communicator• Organized with the ability to lead and effectively manage time on projectsTherapeutic expertise in:• Cardiovascular disease: heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, ASCVD, HeFH, ATTR• Genetic diseases• Rare and ultra rare diseases• Dermatology• Hematology• Nephrology• Neurology• siRNA, RNAi therapeutics
