[00:00:02.860]We create an architecture which is representative of the
[00:00:05.736]architecture and the organization of cells inside the body.
[00:00:10.416]Borrowing tools from nature, Sri Kidambi builds a structured environment
[00:00:15.368]where cancer cells can grow.
[00:00:17.992]Then he steps back and lets biology kick in.
[00:00:21.720]This is cancer in a dish.
[00:00:23.568]So this will give us the ability to really have a
[00:00:26.584]personalized tumor in a dish for each patient.
[00:00:30.136]Cells organize themselves into patterns on these
[00:00:32.944]platforms; the structures allow doctors to recreate
[00:00:36.504]hundreds of versions of a tumor and then try out different treatments without involving the patient.
[00:00:42.338]So here's a platform which will potentially will have a way of screening
[00:00:46.426]which will be a promising treatment regimen.
[00:00:49.626]End goal is make patient's treatment regimens available right now
[00:00:53.426]more flexible and also more efficient to the patients.
[00:00:57.986]Pharmaceutical companies will benefit because the technology
[00:01:00.938]speeds up the development of new treatments.
[00:01:04.026]Kidambi's research also sheds light on the disease process
[00:01:07.529]and how cells interact.
[00:01:10.003]Create a platform which can be explored, utilized for people
[00:01:13.770]for drug screening or understanding various diseases
[00:01:18.490]and make people's lives much better in the long run.
[00:01:22.354][It stained all the acidic...]
[00:01:23.771]NUtech Ventures helps Kidambi explore potential partners
[00:01:27.730]and navigate the complex world of patents.
[00:01:30.986]For Kidambi, the ultimate payoff is innovation that helps others.
[00:01:35.794]I don't want my science to die in the lab.
[00:01:39.186]I want to take it beyond.
[00:01:40.282]I want it to make an imprint, make a difference in people's life.
