Biju graduated from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. He then got himself dedicated to the lab, moving on to make considerable progress within a short span of just a few years. He began his work on a therapy called mesenchymal stem cells, which is based on a certain type of bone marrow stem cell, which can help physicians in their treatment of those patients with acute kidney failure.
“I thought that a singular focus [on research] would be more important,” Parekkadan said. “I came back from India, graduated, and said, ‘It’s time to take this to the next level.’ ” as reported by the Harvard.edu.com.
