CAMBRIDGE, MA, October 24, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Akash Karopadi has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Backed by years of industry experience in renal replacement therapy and medical devices, and years of advisory experience in nuclear medicine and cardiac rhythm monitoring, Mr. Karopadi presently excels as a key part of the global medical device consulting practice at Alira Health, which aims to bring the humanity back to the healthcare setting in partnership with patients. In his capacity as Principal, he expedites product launches for several companies from innovative non-revenue generating to the fortune 500 leaders, and manages teams of up to 10 consultants at a time for the medical device consulting division. Likewise, Mr. Karopadi leverages his expertise in leadership to steer teams to a successful completion and delivery of assignments.
Before taking on his current position with Alira Health, Mr. Karopadi lent his considerable expertise to the strategy consulting division of the company, serving as an engagement manager, project leader, senior consultant, and consultant. Over the years, he also honed his skills in business development, dialysis operations, and management with Buona Fortuna Medical Pvt. Ltd., Jolly Healthcare, and Diaverum. During the early stages of his career, he worked with such companies as Baxter Healthcare, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, and Bharat Serums and Vaccines Limited, where he facilitated the re-commercialization of 5-fluorocytosine, which is a life-saving anti-fungal for treating cryptococcal meningitis. Due to his efforts, Mr. Karopadi helped reduce the cost of induction therapy from $15,000-$20,000 to a mere $300.
Akash has remained committed to publishing in peer-reviewed international journals including the official journal of the European Renal Association (NDT) and the most authoritative journal for home dialysis (Peritoneal Dialysis International), with nearly 30 publications and 1000 citations to his name including one that was used by the executive branch document defending the recommendation to launch the Advancing American Kidney Health Initiative and his work on the use of techniques such as remote monitoring and home visit protocols to keep patients dialyzing at home even before the COVID-19 pandemic has been cited by international treatment guidelines.
For his outstanding body of work, Mr. Karopadi has been honored many times, earning the Editor's Choice Award for the most downloaded article in Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, the official journal of the European Renal Association. He has also been invited to speak at the 37th Congress of the International Society of Blood Purification and the 32nd International Congress on HD and PD In Vicenza, Italy. While his career has been filled with highlights, he takes the most pride in being the lead author of an article that focused on the cost implications of hospital-based dialysis versus home-based dialysis on a global scale. The study spanned 50 countries and a variety of geographic regions. In the next five to ten years, Mr. Karopadi would like to partner with more innovative technologies that will further enable patients to seek treatment at home while not being separated from their families and working on novel precision therapies aimed at key cancers.
