Nicholas Anas

Preclinical Program Manager @ CaaMTech

About

I’m a Program Manager with a strong scientific background and experience supporting regulated drug development programs from discovery through IND-enabling activities. I’ve worked primarily in lean startup environments, where I operated across study planning, scientific execution, regulatory submissions, and investor due diligence. That experience gave me broad exposure to how scientific, regulatory, and operational decisions come together under real constraints. I’ve authored and submitted a successful Pre-IND (PIND), served as a primary FDA contact, and coordinated cross-functional internal teams alongside clinical and non-clinical CROs, CDMOs, and regulatory consultants. I’m motivated by roles at the intersection of science, execution, and regulatory rigor—especially environments where thoughtful program management enables teams to move complex work forward with clarity and discipline.
