Dr. Pritam S Sahota studied for his Veterinary Medicine (BVSc) and Veterinary Pathology (MVSc and PhD) degrees at Punjab Agricultural University in India (1976). He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology. After completing his PhD, he immigrated to the USA in 1976 and worked for Dawson Research Corporation in Orlando, Florida for 10 years (1976-86) with increasing responsibilities as Toxicologic Pathologist, Senior Toxicologic Pathologist, and Scientific Director. While working briefly for Dynamac Corporation in Research Triangle Park, NC (1986-87), Dr. Sahota conducted retrospective scientific audits on 23 NTP carcinogenicity studies and participated in discussions with the representatives of NTP, FDA and EPA to summarize the results of scientific audits of approximately 200 carcinogenicity studies. In 1987, Dr. Sahota joined Ciba-Geigy Pharmaceuticals in Summit, NJ as Head/Manager of Pathologists and helped establish Pathology Peer Review, Scheduling and Quality Control systems. He continued to work primarily in this position with increasing responsibilities in Ciba-Geigy and then Novartis Pharmaceuticals (resulting from Ciba/Sandoz merger in 1997) up to 2000, when he became Head of Pathology (Director→ Executive Director: 2000-12, East Hanover, NJ). In addition to his pathology responsibilities, Dr. Sahota also served as International Project Team Representative for several marketed drugs including an antihypertensive blockbuster, Diovan, where he successfully defended company position with the FDA and various International Regulatory Authorities. During 2010-12, he successfully led following Global Preclinical Safety initiatives at Novartis: Patient Centricity, Cardiotoxicity, Ocular Toxicity, and evaluation of rodent carcinogenicity potential based on short-term toxicity and genotoxicity studies to minimize delays in regulatory submissions. Dr. Sahota also held an adjunct academic appointment of Assistant Professor in the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Newark, NJ for approximately 8 years. In 2013 and 2018, he co-edited as Lead Editor the First and Second Editions of the book entitled “Toxicologic Pathology, Nonclinical Safety Assessment” (CRC Press). In 2019, Dr. Sahota co-edited as Lead Editor “The Illustrated Dictionary of Toxicologic Pathology and Safety Science” (CRC Press), which was considered one of the 100 Best Pharmaceutical Books of All Time (Book Authority). Finally, Dr. Sahota as Lead-Editor, published Current Topics in Nonclinical Drug Development Volume-1 (2020) and Road to Greatness (2022).
