Dr. Rajappa Vaidyanathan is a scientific and business leader with 20+ years of diverse experience in CMC aspects of drug development. Vaidy is currently the Head of Chemical Process and Analytical Development at Pfizer Inc, based in Bothell, WA. In this role, he leads the Process Chemistry, Analytical, and Engineering functions tasked with developing synthetic processes and analytical methods for Drug-Linkers (Linker Payloads) used in Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs).
Vaidy started his industrial career at Pharmacia in Kalamazoo, MI, and subsequently moved to Pfizer in Groton, CT where he held positions of increasing responsibility, and had the honor of developing commercial processes for multiple new chemical entities that are now commercialized as approved drugs (e.g. Xeljanz, Sutent, Bosulif). Subsequently, Vaidy established and headed the Chemical Development and API Supply group for Bristol-Myers Squibb at Bangalore, India. He assumed additional responsibilities of leading the overall Pharmaceutical Development (CMC) organization at Bristol-Myers Squibb, India, where he gained cross-functional experience in drug development.
He then moved to the Medicines for All Institute (M4All) in Richmond, VA, where he served as the Chief Operating Officer leading the organization tasked with a mission to develop innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable approaches to essential medications for Global Health. After a short stint at M4All, he was recruited by Seagen, Inc, which was ultimately acquired by Pfizer!
He is the recipient of several internal and external awards and honors, including the American Chemical Society’s “Heroes of Chemistry” Award (2015) for his contributions to the development of Xeljanz. In addition to his corporate responsibilities, he served on the editorial board of Organic Process Research and Development and has edited multiple books that chronicle the discovery and development of new drug molecules.
Vaidy earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California at Irvine, and his Master’s degree in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, where he currently holds an Adjunct faculty position.
