A SPIN OFF FROM THE
indian institute of science
ABOUT US
We specialize in solving problems related to various aspects of life, like health, materials, drugs, etc., involving any kind of chemical/biological system. We use the principle of chemical bond-specific markers to identify the issues to elucidate the status of the system, as true (healthy) or False(diseased).
Our objectives include the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches to deliver technology, which is rapid, precise, and accurate, non-invasive, non-destructive, and easy to use.
We also provide custom-made solutions both by research and by the development of custom-designed technologies for specific applications from process control to quality control.
