CoLab 2025 at IIT Gandhinagar was a resounding success! This one-day Industry Open House brought together industry leaders and academia under one roof, our department showcased groundbreaking work.

 

“I joined HoMeCell Lab in the Department of Biological Science and Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar. The diverse course work offered at the department enhanced my understanding of the cancer biology and molecular biology.”

“Dr. Umashankar Singh, my PhD advisor, have been very supportive and lab environment was full of inspiration. I graduated in December 2020 and joined Applied Tumor Genomics Program at Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Finland for postdoctoral research. I am studying the role of transposable elements in gene expression regulation in cancers.”

Divyesh Patel, Postdoctoral Researcher, Applied Tumor Genomics Program, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Finland

“The M.Tech program at IITGN offered me an exceptional academic journey, fostering a deep understanding of biomedical engineering principles and techniques. Thrilled to have studied and researched at the MUSE Lab, where my work on Doppler ultrasound imaging was truly transformative. Proud to have been part of such groundbreaking research!”
After his MTech thesis with Prof. Karla Mercado-Shekhar, Hari joined a PhD position at the University of Montreal, Canada.
