Program Director, USA& India
Dr. Sunny Luke(Visiting Professor,US Universities, Former Distinguished Scientist & Head ( R & D ), Stem Cell Therapeutics and Tissue Engineering, Ortec International @ Columbia University School of Medicine, NY, USA)
A founding member of IISAC, Sunny has dedicated his life in educating and enriching students around the world. Starting his career as a high school teacher in Nigeria, Sunny developed a knack for inspiring students to achieve.
He was an Adjunct Graduate Professor teaching graduate level courses in medical biotechnology at Adelphi University, NewYork. From 1994-2008 he has taught varied graduate level courses in Stem Cell Biology, Medical Genetics, Cancer Biology, Pathobiology, Human Genome, IVF & Reproductive Technology and Molecular Medicine. Sunny has published more than 60 research papers in biomedicine (Tissue engineering, Medical genetics and Oncology). He also served as a mentor to students where they have won prestigious scientific awards such as the Intel Science and International Science Fairs. He is heavily involved in education reform where he conducts symposiums and professional development seminars both in USA and India. Sunny is young at heart and continually inspires students from all walks of life.
He joined the Ortec International located at Columbia University School of Medicine in 1998 and worked as a Lead Scientist in tissue engineering (R&D) after 10 years of research in medical Genetics, Oncology and Molecular Pathology. He co-developed a bio-engineered skin “OrCel” for treating burn injuries, diabetic and venous ulcers as well as genetic skin disorder, Epidermolysis Bullosa. In addition to his developmental and efficacy research with “OrCel”, he was also involved in the early phases of Pre-clinical research in producing injectable cartilage and bone using human mesenchymal stem cells.
Prior to joining Ortec, Sunny was the Associate Director of Pathology Research and Medical Genetics at Maimonides Medical Center, an affiliate of the state university of New York. During that period, his research focused on the abnormalities of chromosomes and genes in birth defects, genetic diseases, and human cancer. He also used DNA and chromosomes as evolutionary markers in tracing the origin of humans and identifying various primate models for human diseases. He was the recipient of several research grants including NIH for $600,000 from U.S government in 1998 to study the genetic effect of HIV drugs in developing fetus.
Sunny benefited tremendously from international education by receiving graduate education from Kerala University, Kariyavattam (India), Adelphi University (U.S.A), University of Toledo (USA), Somerset University (UK) and Institute of Biology (U.K.). In addition to his graduate studies he also received clinical training in medical genetics and cancer biology from Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), MD and Long Island College Hospital of State University of New York.
In all his research laboratories, he developed a “Research Scholar Program” for talented high school and college students to provide inroad into Biotechnology and Molecular Medicine through internships. His research students have received several state, national and international research awards. Currently, he is the chairman of International Institute for Scientific and Academic collaboration based in New Jersey, which concentrates on youth enrichment; study abroad, international internships, professional development, faculty exchange, collaborative research and educational consultation.
