Dr. Asha A. Oroskar
President and CEO
Dr. Asha Oroskar co-founded Orochem Technologies Inc. in 1996 in her home in Oak Brook, Illinois. Prior to starting Orochem, she worked at Nunc, now Thermo-Scientific Nalgene Inc. as part of a team that develop the membrane bottom filter plates and the molecular biology medical devices which evolved into a significant focus for Nalgene Nunc .
At Orochem Technologies, her focus was to develop innovative value-added high throughput devices to serve the Biotech and the Bioanalytical industry. Her first product at Orochem was a high-throughput synthesis 96-well plate for Oligonucleotide Synthesis. This oligo synthesis plate became an industry-standard format, and led to the implementation in leading Oligo houses of the 384-well Oligo Synthesis format.
Asha was one of the leading entities to integrate depth prefilters into high-throughput filter plates, a concept first introduced by Orochem into the diagnostic community, and now routinely used for DNA extraction from human tissue samples in the identification of infectious agents. With a focus on problem solving, Asha was the first to develop a protein-precipitation filter-plate concept for carrying out sample clean-up in bioanalytical samples. Matching Technology and Products to Needs, and building capabilities, all the way for Orochem to become vertically integrated is a key strength, Asha brings to every aspect of work at Orochem.
A scientist by training, an innovator by experience and a business woman by nature, Asha brings together all the qualities needed to bring innovative products to market rapidly and make them successful.
