About Varaprasad Chandrabatla
Strategic pharmaceutical scientist and analytical development leader with 20+ years of experience advancing bioanalytical research, CMC analytical development, and global regulatory compliance. I currently serve as Associate Director of Analytical R&D at Veranova, where I lead scientific innovation and operational excellence in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) analysis and empower high‑performing teams through thoughtful hiring, training, and GMP‑ready lab buildouts.My technical expertise spans mass spectrometry, AQbD, method development/validation, lifecycle management, and computer system validation. I have led successful inspection readiness programs and contributed to multiple regulatory submissions (INDs, NDAs, DMFs), collaborating with agencies including the FDA, EMA, ANVISA, UK MHRA, and GCC.Beyond scientific leadership, I am passionate about mentorship, cross‑functional alignment, and building analytical strategies that accelerate molecule advancement from discovery to commercialization. I hold a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry, serve on editorial boards, publish peer‑reviewed research, and hold a provisional patent.Outside the lab, I’m committed to community development as a youth soccer coach, GLP trainer, and Scouting America committee member, bringing the same dedication, structure, and curiosity to volunteer leadership as I do to scientific innovation.
