The Community Transformation Journey

Before Joining · The Friction

Had developed a novel transdermal formulation concept but was working in isolation with no computational partner to model permeability coefficients.

Community Catalyst · The Collaboration

Posted a pitch in the SkillCures Idea Incubator; connected with a bioinformatics scholar in the AI & Tech group within 48 hours. Mentored by senior patent attorney Dr. Narang.

Tangible Result · The Breakthrough

Co-authored a research paper and successfully filed an Indian provisional patent. Currently entering pre-clinical cell permeation trials.
