Professor Vijay Chandru shares his storied career in academia and entrepreneurship, how to balance both sides of the AI coin, and how tech is pushing the boundaries of genomics and healthcare.
Professor Chandru, born and raised in Chennai, attended Don Bosco Matriculation when he discovered a passion for mathematics. In what he terms as an “extraordinary pivot”, he left the familiarity of South India to pursue an Electrical Engineering degree at BITS Pilani in 1972. At the time, BITS Pilani and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) had a strong connection - one that would forge a new path in Professor Chandru’s life.
