Raj Prabhakar’s educational roots stretch to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he earned dual bachelor’s degrees in biology and mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Later, he attended Harvard Business School to complete an MBA. Raj Prabhakar applies his blend of science and business expertise as the senior vice president of business development at Caladrius Biosciences, a biopharmaceutical company. Recently, Caladrius Biosciences was honored with a 2017 Good Design Award for its collaborative efforts in designing an important piece of equipment for stem cell research and production.
Caladrius Biosciences partnered with Invetech, a product design and development company, to produce the counterflow centrifuge device. The platform technology device gives scientists and researchers a flexible, efficient, and cost effective way to conduct stem cell research and production.
The device, which combines a centrifuge and counterflow, allows scientists to wash and concentrate cells in a closed environment. In addition, it is used for media exchange, particle depletion, and short-term incubation.
The counterflow centrifuge device won the Good Design Award for its potential to help society at large as scientists continue work in the promising stem cell industry. The Good Design Award is one of the oldest and most respected design awards in the industry.
