An aspiring scientist, Divyan is interested in how biotechnology can be used to revolutionize how we treat diseases.
He started out by writing immunotherapy articles, and with a research proposal he wrote, he became a Rise Finalist. After working as an intern at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, he began building projects to learn about AI-guided protein design. He has received research grants, has spoken at Web Summit, and is doing experiments at a lab for his most recent project in this domain. In the future, Divyan would like to lead a research team in making new discoveries and applying them to challenging problems.
Outside of research, Divyan enjoys hiking, journaling, and playing chess.
