Prior to joining Qurr, Dr. Padliya worked closely with the North American salesforce at AB SCIEX to perform several winning demonstrations of accurate high-resolution mass spectrometers that paved the way for new business opportunities with major pharmaceutical and biotechnology accounts. Dr. Padliya graduated with a B.Sc.

Dr. Padliya is the author of five peer-reviewed publications as first author and an inventor on two U.S. patents and one pending U.S. patent application. Dr. Padliya has served as a reviewer for well-reputed journals such as Anal. Chimica Acta, Anal. Methods, Integrative Biology, and Molecular Biosystems.
