Anilkumar Reddy is a Principal Scientist at Indus Instruments where he leads preclinical product development and the exploration of novel biomedical applications. Prior to joining Indus Instruments, he had a lengthy career at Baylor College of Medicine, starting as a post-doctoral associate in the Department of Medicine (Cardiovascular Sciences) subsequently transitioning to Instructor and then to Assistant Professor. He received his BE in Electronics & Communications Engineering from Osmania University (India), MS in Biomedical Engineering from University of Akron (Akron, OH) and PhD in Bioengineering from Texas A&M University, (College Station, TX). During his post-doctoral term, he was primary liaison between Indus Instruments and Baylor College of Medicine working on phase II NIH SBIR grant to develop ultrasound instrumentation for cardiovascular and other physiological signal measurements in small animals. The resulting Doppler signal processing system continues to be in regular use in laboratories around the world. His research focused on cardiovascular phenotyping in small animals and the methods he developed for use in mice resulted in a Research Career Award from NIH. He has been co-investigator on research grants and his continued collaboration with Indus Instruments resulted in SBIR grants on which he was subaward principal investigator.
His collaboration with investigators at Baylor and other institutes has resulted in over fifty publications in high impact journals. He served as a facilitator/instructor for over twelve years in the Medical School and in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and for five years on the Medical School Admission Committee and a year on the Scholarship Committee. He served on the American Heart Association, NSF, and NIH (& DOD) grant review panels and has reviewed manuscripts for sixteen national and international journals. He was invited to present his work at national and international conferences and institutes. He has also served for six years as session chair/co-chair at the Houston Society for Engineering in Medicine & Biology annual meeting. He is also a Visiting Scientist at the Houston Methodist Hospital Research Institute.
Anil and his team at Indus Instruments are currently developing and evaluating an integrated, advanced pulsed Doppler system, specifically focusing on M-mode trace generation via single-crystal probes and automated analysis software for small animal models. Beyond his technical R&D, he oversees customer training, support, and technical documentation for Indus preclinical products. As a collaborative researcher, he partners with investigators at Baylor College of Medicine, the Methodist Hospital, and the University of Texas to conduct bench and pilot studies, author peer-reviewed manuscripts, and secure SBIR/STTR grants for the development of innovative preclinical products.
