Nishant Singh, Ph.D. — Co-Founder
I am a research biologist and aspiring entrepreneur with expertise in cellular and molecular biology and regenerative medicine. With a strong academic background from premier institutions like the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (NCBS-TIFR) and the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali, I have cultivated a multidisciplinary skill set spanning biological sciences, finance, and technology. At the Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (inStem), I work as a Research Associate and postdoctoral researcher. My research focuses on human brain organoids to model neurological and neurodevelopmental diseases, aiming to bridge the gap between lab discoveries and therapeutic innovation. During my Ph.D., my work centered on auditory hair cell development, differentiation, and regeneration, critical for understanding sensory hair cell loss and repair in the inner ear. Over the course of my academic journey, I have developed deep technical expertise in antibody design, protein purification, gene transfer, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, transgenics, explant and organoid culture, and microscopy. My scientific contributions have been recognized through high-impact peer-reviewed publications, scholarships, and invitations to present at major conferences. I am passionate about applying scientific innovation to real-world challenges. My goal is to transition into entrepreneurship by building a technology-driven startup, particularly in the healthcare sector, leveraging cutting-edge biological research to create impactful solutions. Alongside my scientific pursuits, I maintain active interests in economics, financial instruments, technology, and history fields that enrich my multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving. I believe that combining rigorous science, entrepreneurial energy, and a broad worldview is essential to drive meaningful change. I am always open to networking, collaborations, and discussions about science, startups, healthcare innovation, and beyond. Let’s connect!
