“Imagination & vision is tool to greater wisdom & Innovation in my opinion”.
With that said, I branded my future to be technological entrepreneur in the field of biosensor which brings smile & happiness in the face of masses in meaningful way. Integration of aptamer with biosensor is key to bring the change & developing disruptive technology at Ayass Bioscience currently. In early twenties i was fortunate to take bachelor & Masters in Biotech followed by Doctorate specializing in biosensor from Central Food Technological Research Institute, India.
I was presented an opportunity to develop wearable biosensor technology at USA in association with University of Cincinnati/Airforce Research laboratory/Eccrine Systems start up. Followed by developing POC Biosensor technology for Philadelphia based startup.
During the process, I was involved in several National & International projects for licensing, developing key networks for biosensing technologies for various market potential biomarkers in the field of environmental, food contaminants, cardiac & dehydration sensor space. I was bestowed with National Gandhain Young Technological Innovation Award for developing visual kit for vitamin B12 sensor.
