About the Ingenious Leader

Dr. Faz Chowdhury, the dynamic Founder and CEO of

Nemaura Pharma originally trained as a drug formulator,

and also holds a Master’s degree in Microsystems and

Nanotechnology from Cranfield University in the UK, and a

PhD in nanomedicine and drug delivery from the University

of Oxford. So, far he has amassed over 100 patents across

over 20 technology platforms as sole inventor, as well as

having written textbook chapters for Wiley and Elsevier on

the subject of Bio-Nanosciences. Apart from Nemaura

Pharma, he also founded Nemaura Medical Inc., which is a

public listed company in the US (Nasdaq: NMRD), focused

on developing and commercializing non-invasive wearable

diagnostic systems.

Inspiring Journey

Prior to commencing studies at the University, Dr. Faz had

always planned to start his own technology company that

would give him something challenging to pursue. Initially,

the hard part for him was to decide when to set up a

company and in what field. During his undergraduate

studies, he discovered his strength in drug formulation and

delivery systems. Within his first eight years of employment

he decided that it was the right time in terms of experience

and exposure in the industry, to set up Nemaura Pharma.

We focus on innovation, not

just to create new drugs or

medications, but also to make

the existing healthcare

systems better.
