Batch 2025

Hi! I’m Amruth (adb for short). I graduated with a Master’s in Bioengineering (2024). I’m currently obsessed with understanding how and why we age—maybe my love for mysteries has something to do with it 🙂
I’m drawn to questions at the intersection of wet lab biology and computational approaches, where different fields reveal what one alone can’t.
Outside the lab, you’ll find me indulging in cinema, literature, and rock music.

Project title: TBD

I’m a passionate bio engineer driven by the idea of fusing engineering precision with the complexity of biology to create meaningful solutions in healthcare. I love exploring how circuits, systems, and algorithms can find their parallels in living organisms—and how this synergy can transform research into real-world impact.

Beyond the lab, I switch gears to music—where I channel creativity through keyboards and vocals. Whether it’s designing an experiment or composing a melody, I enjoy building harmony between science and art.

Project title: TBD

Hello! I am Vhasnsciani. I am a B.Tech Biotechnology graduate from PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore. I went on to work as Project Associate for a year at Mazumdar Shaw Medical Foundation, Bangalore before joining the Bioengineering department at IISc as a full-time researcher. My interest lie in exploring the Z-form of nucleic acids and viral adaptations in reservoirs and understanding their biological roles. Outside the lab, I enjoy reading books with a particular fondness for fiction.
