[MTech, PhD 2019, BSBE, IIT Kanpur]
Founder Biopatrika
MFCEM: Hi Virender, great to connect. It is wonderful to see you straddle diverse fields with equal ease. You were part of the Biotech industry at one point, then you immersed yourself into research/academics, and with all this you have also managed to keep your passion for science communication on—having launched the “BIOPATRIKA”. What motivates you? Is it possible to dabble in more than one activity and do full justice to it?

MFCEM: Hi Rohit! Great to connect!
You certainly have developed an expertise in quite a niche area of technology and patent portfolio development, and patent protection. Did your undergrad training, particularly in biological sciences help you navigate better, or did you also develop the much-needed skills along the way?
