About us

BioTech Stage was started and founded by Arun Singhal.  He has vast experience in the biotech industry in Sales/Marketing and has deep technical knowledge of the science behind the biotech applications. He has worked at leading cell culture companies in various commercial positions, including Hyclone (now Cytiva), Gibco (now Thermo Fisher) and Irvine Scientific (now FujiFilm) to develop markets in different regions, including South East Asia, Australia and South America.  He has spent a considerable amount of time with the Indian biotech industry, where his innovative customer-focused approach complemented by his scientific background yielded tremendous success in penetrating over 90% of potential companies with targeted products/services in just a matter of a few years.  

He has a Ph.D. in Biotechnology and MBA (University of Houston at Clear Lake). Dr Singhal is one of the pioneers in the field of Gene Therapy. He has published over a dozen scientific articles in leading journals along with chapters in books in Gene Therapy. He contributed to a book, “Gene Therapeutics”, which was published 30 years ago. His hand-drawn depiction of a gene therapy model was chosen by the book to be the front cover (click here for the book) . Most of his work focused on liposome-based targeted gene therapy and control of gene expression using various types of promoters. He has also extensively worked on different cell lines (both primary and stable) and commonly used biotechniques for his research.
