Daicel Arbor Biosciences, a division of Daicel Chiral Technologies, and leader in developing molecular biology research tools, is pleased to introduce Ravindra Ramadhar as its new President.
Previously Mr. Ramadhar was Director, Strategy & Business Development within Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Genetics Science Division. Ramadhar brings a vast technical background to Daicel Arbor Biosciences with his prior experience as a director in the life and genetic sciences sectors, specifically focusing on applied markets in Agribusiness. His leadership will positively impact Daicel Arbor’s vision, strategy and portfolio development.
Mr. Ramadhar earned a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) from Whitman School of Management, Syracuse University, and Bachelor of Science from Rutgers University. He also received many hours of executive education from various programs at Harvard University.
With the addition of Mr. Ramadhar to the team, Daicel Arbor’s current President, Joseph M. Barendt, Ph.D., will continue to serve as President of Daicel Chiral Technologies and shift his attention to strategic growth projects within the newly formed Life Sciences Business area of Daicel Group. “I am excited to add someone of Mr. Ramadhar’s depth of experience, enthusiasm and leadership skills to the Daicel Arbor team and look forward to working closely with him over the coming years.”
Ramadhar adds “Daicel Arbor Biosciences’ extensive capabilities in genomics and tools for synthetic biology coupled with its passion for science provide a strong foundation for growth. Daicel Arbor Biosciences’ solutions enable genomics and synthetic biology researchers to answer key biological questions, advancing their research goals.”

The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition is the largest competition of students in the field of synthetic biology. Every Spring since 2004, interdisciplinary teams from all over the world are formed who design and build biological systems that address a pressing environmental, scientific or societal need. They all have one goal, receiving one the Gold Medals at the Giant Jamboree held in Boston, MA in October.
Daicel Arbor Biosciences identifies with the hard work, passion and heart that all participating students put into their projects. By connecting with young professionals training to be the next generation of scientists and innovators, we recognize their commitment to improve and develop the scientific world.
We are proud to support the following iGEM Teams in this years’ competition with our versatile myTXTL® Cell-Free Expression platform. Visit their team pages to learn more about their insightful projects.
2020 Sponsored Teams
Team FDR Peru 
Project Title: Fishing for Cadmium
Our collaborator, TASA, the worldwide leader in the fishing industry, dilutes fish meal batches exceeding the 2 ppm export limit. This is a costly, time¬consuming and non-eco-friendly process. We aim to make a Cell-free Cadmium-sensor that we can freeze-dry to make a dipstick for the fishermen to use on anchovies/fish meal early in the production process; saving money, time, resources and reducing plastic waste.
FDR-HB Peru Team
TeamPhocus
Project title: Locust Crisis 
Our mission is to tackle the locust crisis by developing a sustainable bio¬pesticide through responsible innovation and collaboration. By doing this, we aim for food security and economic stability across the globe to achieve a brighter future for all.
Team Rochester 
Project title: Under-Diagnosis of Endometriosis
Our team’s project for this year is tackling the underdiagnosis of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a common chronic disease, affecting an approximate 10% of reproductive aged women worldwide. Endometriosis is characterized by abnormal growth of uterine-like tissue outside of the uterus and can cause severe pelvic pain, menstrual cramps and can lead to infertility. Despite its high prevalence and severity, methods of diagnosis and education on endometriosis is severely lacking, which we aim to tackle with a non-invasive and fast diagnostic assay, as well as with our endometriosis education campaign. You can follow the details and updates on our progress at Team Rochester.
