Summary
Pradeep Shrestha is a postdoctoral research fellow with nearly a decade of hands-on experience in organic synthesis, bioconjugation, and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) development, currently working at the National Cancer Institute. He combines deep experimental skill—multi-step air-sensitive synthesis, advanced analytical characterization (QTOF-LCMS, HPLC, NMR), and imaging/flow cytometry—with in vitro and in vivo assay expertise including PDX and syngeneic mouse models. Pradeep has a strong track record of designing, troubleshooting, and optimizing complex workflows to deliver projects on time and within budget, and he is proficient with computational chemistry tools (Gaussian/DFT) and modern lab informatics. Colleagues value his ability to lead cross-functional efforts while remaining highly productive at the bench, and his background spans academia and teaching from Nepal to the U.S. As a permanent resident based in Syracuse, he is open to long-term roles where his ADC and bioconjugation know-how can translate into translational impact.
