Next Big Innovation Labs, a revolutionary company on its own. It is the first bioprinting company in India to have built a completely customisable bioprinter to address the needs of the Indian research community.
“Customizable bioprinters are absolutely essential to address the growing diversity of clinical challenges. Each challenge has its own particular requirements, the printers have to be designed along with the clinical community who is going to use it.” – Gordon Wallace – Pioneer in 3D Bioprinting – University of Wollongong, Australia
With 3D Bioprinted Skin in its last leg of R&D and launching later this year, let’s have a chat with one of the building blocks of the company, Piyush Padmanabhan, co-founder and director of Next Big Innovation Labs.
Hi Piyush, Can you walk us through your journey – how did you start and get to where you are today?
I’m a Biotechnology Engineer from Vellore Institute of Technology. After my graduation, I worked for a few years in the pharmaceutical industry with Biocon & Roche in their Sales and Marketing wings. I was working in the promotion of drugs used for the treatment of chronic kidney and liver failure. During these years, I understood that there is a huge gap between the need and availability of organs. Finally, with a goal towards bridging this gap, I joined hands with other founders to setup NBIL and became a Biotech Entrepreneur.
