Biography
Janardan Kumar, PhD is a Professor of microbiology and chemistry at Becker College. He served as a chair of natural science department from 2011-2014. Prior to joining to Becker College, while a research associate/Assistant Professor at Duke University, he first proposed at the ARVO international conference, Fort Lauderdale, (1999) that the Rho-GTPase activation mediated through LPA and thrombin perfusion caused increase outflow resistance in porcine eyes. In 2001 while at Duke University he filed for intellectual property in the US on RGD-containing peptides as safe therapeutic alternatives for glaucoma therapy. The same molecule has been filed for patent in Japan, with additional international applications to follow.
