Had a great conversation with Prof. urmi bajpai from International Bacteriophage Research Consortium on antimicrobial resistance, phage engineering, and global science coordination. Tune in! open.spotify.com/episode/61szX8…

This week, I spoke to Geetha Manjunath, founder of Niramai, a safe, accurate, and privacy-aware #breastcancer diagnostic. Hear how she built the world’s largest thermal breast image dataset, and adapted for diverse contexts such as rural screening! linktr.ee/cell_culture_c…

Inspired by the simple art and craft we do in primary school, Prof. Suman Chakraborty builds low-cost, paper-based #diagnostics. He explores deep science in everyday items. Tune in to hear about his pencil-drawn electrodes and home-printable #microfluidic channels! linktr.ee/cell_culture_c…
