About
Hello, I am Sakshi Kabra Malpani, with 10+ years of experience as a green, organic chemist and lecturer. My overarching research interests revolve around solid waste management, utilization of industrial and natural wastes in the development of heterogeneous catalysts, and their further utilization in different industrially viable organic transformations, extraction of various useful metal oxides like silica, alumina from such wastes. I favor interdisciplinary approaches to solve the aforesaid issues and have incorporated synthetic green chemistry as well as material science and conventional organic chemistry approaches in my research. Post Ph.D., I continued my research work at my workplaces in the form of different student projects at college and postgraduate levels. I also describe my interest and activities in science communication. Three of my designed catalysts have been patented on my name, my research work got published in peer-reviewed journals and books, also I presented my results at different international and national conferences. My father was a College Lecturer, so, from the early stages of my life, I want to become a teacher, saying teaching is in my DNA. Stepping to freelance consulting job, I would like to use my novel training as both an organic and environmental chemist, to investigate environmental processes on a range of temporal and spatial scales. I understand being a scientist or researcher does not mean just being successful in research. At the same time, one should be excellent in his/her interactions with the community and the students, in his/her role to lead the academic society, and in responsibilities to transform the community and society. To this end, I have been engaged in several volunteer activities, such as a volunteer in National Service Scheme and Teach For India movement, guiding and encouraging students to apply for further studies, research fellowships, competitive exams.

About
Throughout my training, I have been focused toward my ultimate goal of becoming a clinical translational researcher in gastrointestinal (GI) oncology, collaborating closely with laboratory-based researchers to move laboratory findings into patients and to answer important clinical questions. My clinical research is centered on the development of novel agents in GI cancers, with particular interest in combinatorial approaches of epigenetic therapies and immunotherapies combinations. I ran the first phase II study of combination epigenetic therapy and immunotherapy in advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma, working with a collaborative team that incorporates leading experts in cancer immunology, epigenetics and drug development. I was awarded the 2018 ASCO Conquer Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Award for this project.  Together with Dr. Yarchoan, we are running a clinical trial of a novel neoantigen-specific vaccine in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) (NCT04248569). My laboratory focus has been on developing and validating a preclinical mouse model of FLC to investigate mechanisms underlying FLC pathogenesis, and will become a critical tool for investigating novel therapeutic strategies in FLC.

Example molecular medicine projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on molecular medicine?

Drug Discovery and Development

A pharmaceutical company can collaborate with a Molecular Medicine expert to identify potential drug targets, design and optimize drug candidates, and conduct preclinical and clinical trials. This collaboration can significantly speed up the drug discovery and development process, leading to the creation of novel and effective therapies.

Personalized Medicine

By working with a Molecular Medicine researcher, a healthcare company can develop personalized treatment strategies based on an individual's genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This approach can improve patient outcomes, minimize adverse effects, and optimize healthcare resources.

Genomics and Precision Medicine

Companies in the biotechnology and diagnostics sectors can collaborate with Molecular Medicine experts to leverage genomic data for disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection. This collaboration can lead to the development of innovative diagnostic tools, targeted therapies, and precision medicine approaches.

Biomarker Identification

A company focused on biomarker discovery can benefit from collaborating with a Molecular Medicine expert. These researchers can identify and validate biomarkers that can be used for early disease detection, monitoring treatment response, and predicting patient outcomes. Such collaborations can drive the development of diagnostic tests and personalized medicine solutions.

Therapeutic Interventions

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can partner with Molecular Medicine experts to explore novel therapeutic interventions, including gene therapies, RNA-based therapeutics, and targeted drug delivery systems. These collaborations can lead to the development of breakthrough treatments for various diseases and conditions.
