We are honored to highlight 2025 Distinguished Alumni and Alumni Advisory Board Member, Dr. Vivek Gupta! Vivek is an Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at St. John’s University and the Scientific Founder of PulmoSIM Therapeutics, a biotech company focused on the development of inhaled therapies for rare respiratory diseases. His research centers on non-invasive drug delivery systems—including inhalable nanomedicine, oral delivery of biologics, and localized delivery approaches for brain and lung diseases, aimed at improving therapeutic efficacy and patient outcomes.

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. You exemplify what it means to be the future of health!

We are so excited to highlight Alumni Advisory Board Member, Sixtus Atabong, PAC MPAS!
