A tightly-knit group of researchers, coders, and genomics enthusiasts — united by a shared obsession with DNA's most unusual architectures.
A PhD Scholar at the Kusuma School of Biological Sciences, IIT Delhi, Auroni digs into the transcriptional side of DNA secondary structures, charting their footprint across the human genome. Her toolkit spans molecular biology and bioinformatics. She is a recipient of the SYBS India Young Researcher Award for her work on i-Motifs.
A BTech student at the Department of Mathematics and Computing, IIT Delhi — equal parts mathematician and quiz aficionado. Utsab brings computational rigour to the project, and the kind of encyclopaedic curiosity that makes every problem look like a quiz question worth cracking.
Professor Vivekanandan Perumal leads a lab at the intersection of virology and genomics — probing how viruses evolve, replicate, and manipulate the host. His group spans HBV replication defects to G-quadruplex discovery in herpesvirus genomes.
Dr. Saran Kumar heads the Vascular Biology and Cancer Laboratory, where blood vessels aren't just plumbing — they're architects of tumour fate. His team wields everything from 3D organoids to mouse models to decode how vasculature rewires cancer biology.
