Biography
Dr.Subbu Venkatraman has a PhD in Polymer Chemistry from Carnegie-Mellon University. He has spent about 15 years in biomedical R&D in the USA, working with various applications of polymeric biomaterials. He held a senior position in R&D at Alza Corporation prior to joining NTU as Associate Professor in 2000. Since then he has published extensively in the field of biomaterials, with a total of 130 publications, and a citation count of 1300+ and a h-index of 23. He also holds 20 issued US patents in biomaterials/drug delivery, and 5 of these have been translated into products. He is concurrently the Director of the Ocular Therapeutic Engineering Centre, as well as Dy Director of the Nanyang Institute of Technology in Health & Medicine, and works closely with clinicians from Singapore and world-wide.
Research Interest
Research is focussed on the applications of polymeric biomaterials in medicine. In particular, research areas include biodegradable stents, injectable drug delivery systems and gene delivery. Controlled release of drugs to the eye and the cardiovascular system are the primary end applications. Cancer therapy using "stealth" particles also forms a significant component of the research activities.
