In Sci-ROI's new blog, the Sci-ROI Blogs team conversed with Dr. Bhartiya, learning from her scientific journey from her Ph.D. to obtaining seed funds for her start-up. Her advice to the young researchers dreaming to take that leap of faith is that doubts & second thoughts are common in the journey of Startups, asking for support when needed and preparing yourself during the Ph.D. or postdoc phase can help the researchers transit into entrepreneurship. She feels this is a good time to start the entrepreneurial journey with the Indian government’s ‘make in India’ initiative providing more funding opportunities and encouraging more academia-industry collaborations.

Listen to the latest episode of Sci-ROI’s podcast series on ‘Return to India’ stories. In this episode we feature Dr. Himanshu Gogoi, an Assistant Professor from Amity University, sharing about his transition journey into Indian academia.
Dr. Gogoi started his research career with an M.Sc. in Physical Chemistry from Delhi University. He then joined the PhD program at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi, in 2013. He worked on synthesizing nanoparticle adjuvants with varying crystallinity and studying its effect in antigen binding. He then moved to the University of Florida in 2018 for a postdoctoral stint under Prof. Lei Jin and worked on immunosenescence and vaccine-induced immune response against respiratory pathogens. He was awarded the Department of Health Research - Young Scientist Award in 2019. After his successful postdoctoral training, Dr. Gogoi joined Amity University, Jaipur in June 2022 as an Assistant Professor.

Richa works as an in vitro assay development biologist and has recently transitioned to industry from academia. She obtained her doctoral degree from the land of cuckoo clocks and black forest cakes at the University of Freiburg, Germany. During her Ph.D., she studied nanovesicles shuttling messages between cells and affecting cellular physiology. And how they shape tumor microenvironment and cancer progression. She is interested in science communication and networking with fellow researchers across various disciplines. She believes in the mission of Sci-ROI and it gives her immense happiness to be part of such a non-profit organization. It addresses the issues and needs of Ph.D. students, and early researchers, and gives them a platform to boost their career. She can be reached via LinkedIn.

Rohil is a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, where he develops diagnostic tools using microfluidic and spectroscopic techniques to make better organ transplantation decisions when using extended criteria organs. The goal of his research is to bridge the huge gap in the need and availability of organs by extending the life of organs through better preservation, and better assessment of extended criteria organs for better patient outcomes. Previously, he completed his Ph.D. from Purdue University where he developed diagnostic tools for cancer and his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. He joined SciROI last year to help other researchers who want to transition back to the Indian academic system. He can be reached via email at [email protected] or via LinkedIn
