From Wellness to Precision: The Progenics Journey
Dr. Surakasi Venkata Prasad - Founder & Managing Director
PhD in Life Sciences | Scientist & Entrepreneur
Progenics Laboratories Pvt Ltd was founded in April 2023 with a singular mission: to make genomics accessible and actionable for every patient. But our story begins long before.
Our founder, Dr. Surakasi Venkata Prasad, has dedicated his career to translating complex science into real-world health solutions. With a Ph.D. in life sciences and an entrepreneurial vision, he first established Prolog Biologicals for probiotic manufacturing and Aktachem Biotech for natural vitamins and herbs recognizing that gut health and natural wellness are fundamental to human vitality.
These ventures reflected a deeper belief: that probiotics and herbs are not alternatives but essential partners in the next generation of healthcare, where prevention and lifestyle are as critical as treatment. Yet Dr. Prasad's vision extended further to the ultimate source of personalization: the human genome.
This led to the founding of Progenics Laboratories, where his diverse expertise in microbiology, nutraceuticals, and biomedical research converges to create a comprehensive approach to precision medicine. From clinical genetic testing to pharmacogenomics and inherited disease genetics, our state-of-the-art facility delivers cutting-edge diagnostics with the highest standards of accuracy and integrity.
Today, Progenics stands as the culmination of Dr. Prasad's journey a versatile vision to make science not just advanced, but accessible, actionable, and relevant to everyday life.
