Vignesh earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Washington, Seattle in 2019. Prior to joining the MAPS Public Benefit Corporation (MPBC), Vignesh worked as a Clinical Lab Assistant, then as a Quality Assurance Associate helping with diagnostic testing and clinical research operations at a reference laboratory.

At MAPS PBC, Vignesh is currently serving as a Medical Affairs Program Associate, helping to manage Investigator Initiated Trials. He believes the work being done by MAPS and MAPS PBC is incredibly important in helping us better understand how we can use psychedelics as one of many tools for individual and collective healing. In Vignesh’s free time, he loves adventuring with friends, discovering new music, reading a good book, and exploring the wilderness.
