IndiaBioscience is an organisation serving as the bridge between the ivory towers of academic research, clinicians, and the wider public, It serves to take the science funded by public money and give it back to the community, whether it is through outreach programmes, mentorship schemes or getting people in the same room for fruitful discussions.
Executive director Dr. Karishma Kaushik resembles this very bridge. She has had a career both as a clinical microbiologist and principle investigator, pivoting towards science facilitation at India Bioscience. Together, we discuss her ‘bucket list’ for the future of India’s life science ecosystem, including a networking platform for the global Indian diaspora. With her experience in science mentorship, we delve into what it takes to be a scientist today and the true value of a PhD.
The Living Revolution brings you scientists, industry leaders and entrepreneurs working on engineering biology to solve the world’s most pressing challenges. Listen in if you want to hear about the trials and successes of the bioeconomy.
