GLASS Project

Health: My research directly supports Tandon’s Health initiative, which focuses on developing technologies that improve human well-being. By investigating how epigenetic regulation influences immune receptor diversity, I aim to contribute to the development of next-generation immunotherapies. The ultimate goal of my work is to create precise, personalized treatments for immune-related diseases, aligning with Tandon's mission to address major healthcare challenges through innovation.

Data Science / AI / Robotics: Understanding V(D)J recombination requires working with large and complex biological datasets. I utilize data science techniques to analyze recombination patterns and epigenetic signatures, reflecting Tandon’s emphasis on leveraging AI and computational tools to extract meaning from data. This interdisciplinary integration of biology and data science allows me to approach biological questions with engineering precision.

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being: At its core, my project seeks to improve human health by advancing our understanding of V(D)J recombination and the epigenetic mechanisms that shape immune diversity. By informing the development of more precise and effective immunotherapies, my research contributes to the prevention and treatment of diseases—particularly cancer and autoimmune conditions. This work aligns with the global mission to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, across all ages.

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: My project emphasizes innovation at the intersection of biology and engineering by applying data science tools to decode complex immunological processes. This contributes to building a stronger infrastructure for biomedical research and healthcare innovation, particularly in the field of personalized medicine. By exploring novel approaches to immunotherapy design, I aim to support sustainable scientific and technological innovation.
