Pioneering Global Health Through Natural Products and Translational Science

Prof. Dr. Hemanth Kumar Manikyam is a globally respected scientist, educator, and consultant at the forefront of natural product chemistry, translational research, and AI-driven drug development. Known for his visionary work in transforming botanical knowledge into clinically relevant, globally marketable health solutions, Dr. Manikyam is redefining how the world engages with nature-based medicine and promotion of ancient medicine systems like AYURVEDA, Tibetian medicine (Sowa Rigpa), TCM, JAMA and other Folk Traditional medicines

With a PhD in Natural Products Chemistry from North East Frontier Technical University, an MSc in Biochemistry, and an MBA in Healthcare Management, he brings a rare multidisciplinary lens to health innovation. He holds advanced international credentials, including:

• Certification in Translational Research in Clinical Oncology from the NIH – National Cancer Institute (USA) - Good Clinical Practice certified from NIDA -NIH

• Professional training in Pharmacogenomics, equipping him to design personalized therapeutic strategies

• Expertise in AI-based drug design, enabling in silico screening and predictive modeling for novel phytocompounds

From Research to Real-World Impact

Prof. Manikyam’s work extends beyond publications into the real-world transformation of traditional plant knowledge into safe, validated, and regulatory-ready formulations. He has helped industries across India, Africa, and Southeast Asia build sustainable, scalable herbal products addressing:

• Cancer support and immune modulation

• Diabetes and metabolic syndrome

• Neuroprotection and liver health

• Natural food preservatives and cosmetics

His innovations harness green technologies like supercritical CO₂ extraction, liquid-liquid fractionation, and alkaline hydrolysis to isolate and enrich high-value actives from botanicals such as Ashwagandha, Boswellia, Berberine, Green Tea, and Rosemary.

Industry and Global Partnerships

A sought-after consultant and technical mentor, Dr. Manikyam collaborates with pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies, academic institutions, and startups to:
