The Pharma Industry Awards 2026 is delighted to welcome Subrata Bhattacharyya to its judging panel, bringing one of the life sciences sector's most experienced health economics practitioners to the independent evaluation process that sits at the heart of Ireland's most prestigious pharmaceutical recognition programme.

Subrata Bhattacharyya is Founder and CEO of PharmaQuant, a specialist firm operating at the intersection of health technology assessment, evidence generation, and strategic business development. With over 20 years of experience leading multidisciplinary teams across Europe and India, he has partnered with leading pharmaceutical companies to translate clinical value into economic value at every stage of the drug development and commercialisation journey, from early development through global market access, healthcare decision-making, and commercial readiness. That end-to-end understanding of how clinical evidence becomes economic and health system value gives him a distinctive perspective that is directly relevant to the ambition and rigour the Pharma Industry Awards exists to recognise.

Under his leadership, PharmaQuant has expanded its global footprint, developed cross-functional capabilities to address complex evidence-generation challenges, and launched multiple applications and AI-driven solutions that reflect his commitment to technology, health economics, and real-world problem solving. His therapeutic expertise spans oncology, ophthalmology, neuroscience, cardiovascular disease, transplantation, and dermatology, covering a breadth of clinical areas that mirrors the diversity of innovation being recognised across the Pharma Industry Awards categories. He has authored peer-reviewed articles in prominent journals including Value in Health, Alzheimer's and Dementia, BMJ, JME, and Pharmacoeconomics, and has contributed thought leadership at international scientific conferences, bringing academic credibility alongside his industry experience.
