One day @sohamsankaran asked whether we would be able to build personalized medicines at our facility. I with my naive optimism said, we can.
And even before I realize its magnitude, we are ready with our full-stack @PopVaxIndia RNA Foundry to make personalized cancer vaccines!
Very excited to do this! If you are someone who knows this is hard to do but are equally interested to make this happen, join us! jobs.popvax.com/

We work at our lab, our facility, our homes, our country to make our world a healthier place! #AccelerateScience #MadeInIndia #MadeForWorld @PopVaxIndia @sohamsankaran
On August 31, the first two participants were injected with @PopVaxIndia’s first fridge-stable RNA vaccine candidate in a Phase I clinical trial in Australia. We built this vaccine at our RNA Foundry in Hyderabad – from computational design to GMP manufacturing. Here's how:

Our company, PopVax has been featured in a new video, giving a complete tour of our lab. We have a few open roles, lmk if you want to join us. Any suggestions are welcome.
I am sharing this video to show you that it is very much possible to R&D, especially biotechnology in India.
PopVax (@PopVaxIndia) is one of India’s most important biotech startups.
They're developing vaccines to fight Hep C, Strep A, TB, influenza, HPV, and malaria, as well as cancer immunotherapies against tumours like liver/pancreatic cancer.
Here's their RNA Foundry in Hyderabad.
If you think it is not possible, see how a computer science/robotics PhD dropout with the right vision, resources and determination shows that it is within our reach, if we try hard enough.

I am neither a academic scientist/science faculty nor a PhD scholar.
But, I have gained a few skills and capacities which are important for both the people.
The process of my self development focusing towards pursuing and communicating science was kindled by the...
Last day today!
This application form is for a course/workshop for capacity building of PhD scholars in India. Only those who are registered as PhD scholars in Indian universities or institutes are eligible to participate.
The details of the workshop: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
Day 2 is a step forward!
People came today to
Seek. Speak. Share. Survey.
Yet, I couldn't help but notice some critical gaps:
Limited job opportunities
A low societal scientific temper
Students unaware of where to seek internships
Startups struggling with limited customer reach

Re-sharing my old blog on biotech and life sciences research internship in India as it is that season again where people apply for 1-2 months internship.
There are multidisciplinary institutions all over India.
Have a look and share with relevant people.

For those who are willing to learn more during their PhD.
Apply.
There is a interesting fee structure.
If you are interested you'll have to pay.
But if you are able to show your interest then you have to pay lesser.
All the best for the workshop.

Ever wondered what research is happening in India. You will get to have a sneak peek here. Read this short magazine like report of Indian Research from Jan to Mar 2024.
Each story is less than or around 300 words only.

In spite of cuts in budget allocation for research, delays in project funding and payments for fellowships, India has not yet managed to destroy the backbone of researchers as it has done to media and civil society. steamindiareportscom.in/2024…

Calling out all Indian researchers, scientists, professors and faculty.
Even if you have published multiple academic papers you can benefit so much from this workshop. But it is only for those who can devote their time and do the work.
5th online workshop on science writing organised by Current Science: researchers, science faculty and scientists in India may apply. Here is the announcement for the three-month long workshop starting on 21 April 2024:
