Ms. Madhuri Vissapragada: Applications of Synthetic Biology in plastic degradation.

Ms. Madhuri Vissapragada is an undergraduate student in her final year B.Sc. (BZC) from Dr. Lankapalli Bullayya College, Visakhapatnam. She completed her internship in Life Sciences at TCABS-E, Visakhapatnam in early 2020 and moved onto research project that involves applications of Synthetic bacterial cells that naturally biodegrade plastics. Her goal is to decrease the global plastic burden as humans refuse to stop using plastics. She later became the program manager for Synthetic Biology platform at TCABS-E, Visakhapatnam and participated in TCABS-E Juniorette Faculty Recruitment-2021. Publication: Vissapragada 2021.

Ms. Madhumita Aggunna: Multi-omics approach for Cancer immunotherapy success rate.

Ms. Madhumita Aggunna is an undergraduate student, just completed B.Tech (Biotechnology) from GITAM, Visakhapatnam. Starting with the Life Science internship program at TCABS-E, Visakhapatnam, she started asking the question why Cancer immunotherapy works only for some patients and is not universal in early 2020. Her goal is to investigate the reason for immunotherapy success rate by using a multi-omics approach that would answer most of her questions. She later became the program manager for OMICAS-Multiomics platform at TCABS-E, Visakhapatnam and participated in TCABS-E Juniorette Faculty Recruitment-2021. Publication: Aggunna 2021.
