Hi, I'm Santosh D. Bhosale
Product Manager I · Proteomics Scientist · AI/ML Drug Discovery
A pharmacist-turned-proteomics scientist with a PhD and 15+ years of experience spanning wet-lab mass spectrometry, computational proteomics, and — most recently — AI/ML for drug discovery. I bridge deep domain biology with scalable data pipelines.
Currently: Product Manager I (Growth) at Partex.ai (formerly Innoplexus Consulting Pvt. Ltd.), Pune — Spearheading a biomarker discovery module powered by omics data and Llama & Gemini LLMs, where biomarker signals drive downstream acceleration across indication prioritisation, drug-target identification and explainable clinical trial outcome prediction.
