Shubhadra Pillay, PhD

Solutions Product Manager at Bruker BioSpin

Speaker

Shubhadra Pillay is a structural biologist and Solutions Product Manager at Bruker BioSpin, with expertise in NMR spectroscopy, molecular biophysics, and structure‑based drug design. Her current work focuses on advancing scalable, standardized NMR approaches for complex biomolecules, with particular emphasis on peptides and related therapeutic modalities. Her background includes fragment‑based lead optimization at Takeda Pharmaceuticals, postdoctoral research on ubiquitin dynamics using residual dipolar couplings at the Max Planck Institute, and PhD work on protein–nucleic acid interactions by NMR at Nanyang Technological University. Working at the interface of R&D, applications, and pharmaceutical development, she translates real discovery needs into robust, reproducible NMR methodologies that support drug discovery from early research through therapeutic development.
