Dr. Rajasekaran has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications, holds multiple U.S. and international patents, and has founded cancer-focused biotechnology companies, including Therapy Architects and ALLCRON Pharma. His research bridges fundamental biology and translational medicine, contributing to drug discovery efforts to halt cancer progression and improve patient outcomes.
He is also the author of the science-philosophical work Afterlife: A Cosmic Reckoning, which explores consciousness, science, and the deeper questions of existence beyond biology.
Beyond the laboratory, Dr. Rajasekaran is the founder of the Cancer Vision Foundation, an organization dedicated to cancer-prevention education for children and young adults worldwide. Through school programs, lectures, and global outreach, he advocates prevention-first thinking—teaching how lifestyle, environment, and early awareness shape long-term health.
In Before Cancer Begins, he reflects on a life shaped by curiosity, adaptation, and a single childhood question that evolved into a lifelong mission. He lives in the United States and continues to work at the intersection of science, education, prevention, and reflection.
