.....systems biology and machine learning. Bharath founded INanoBio with the ambitious goal of developing advanced nano-biotechnologies for resolving biological complexity, to deliver early stage diagnostics for disease preemption, reduce healthcare expenditures to a fraction of todays, saving trillions of dollars. He defines disease preemption as diagnosing, intervening and curing diseases early on, even before symptoms appear.

What disease-specific biomarkers to detect? how to detect them for early diagnosis and to guide precision medicine? These questions have confounded the scientific community owing to the extraordinary complexity underlying disease biology.

He invented nano-sensors to detect extremely small amounts of molecular biomarkers in blood; a novel 3D nanopore-transistor to readout the human genome at 1/10 the cost & time needed today; and proteomic technologies to develop disease-specific biomarkers capable of 99% accuracy diagnosis.

Combining these innovations, INanoBio is currently developing a blood-based high accuracy diagnostic test for lung cancer that obviates need for lung biopsy (company’s first product), in addition to research on biomarkers for other cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. Bharath got his bachelors from IIT Madras India, PhD in nano-electronics from ASU and researched nano-bio technologies for over a decade prior to founding INanoBio.

Making it work in the mainstream with "That Child".

"That child" who pushes the teacher's buttons, and who somehow cannot fit into the norm and system, is the child who is wired differently. The one that triggers regular emails of the kind every parent dreads. That child with the labels; naughty, unfocussed, lazy, slow and defiant. The Winstedt School calls them diverse learners who think differently. What can a parent do to help their challenging child achieve their real potential?

The Winstedt School of Singapore has over the past decade, reinstated the dignity into being a 'different learner'. Founded by "that child" as a result of having experienced insecurity, failure and intimidation by going through an archaic and traditional education system, TWS exists to redefine the possibilities of education for those who learn differently. The Winstedt School defies convention and creates a movement of equity in education for every child.
