As the CEO of Biotica, he brings expertise in growing and scaling businesses, developing winning strategies, operations, marketing, sales and innovation for global businesses and broad brand portfolios. During his 30-year career at Abbott Labs, and Bayer, Sundar held positions of increasing responsibility with strong proven results.

Biotica Pharma is positioning to be a world-class research and development facility in endocannabinoid drug development. Biotica plans to set-up a state-of-the-art research and development lab to enhance the BPRx platform and rapidly expand its research capabilities. Biotica's research includes specific programs for eosinophilic esophagitis, Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease and severe, chronic pain. For each of these diseases, there is a dire need for new therapies. Depending on the disease, our therapies will use a BPRxTM platform to optimize the synergistic combination of photo and endocannabinoids to modulate disease pathology and progression. By significantly decreasing the production of relevant signaling and causative molecules at targeted sites within various tissue systems, the goal is to address the underlying biology of the disease and make a meaningful difference for patients. Our talented team of scientists, scientific advisors, and board directors is working to accelerate breakthrough treatments for patients with significant unmet medical needs.
