Bladder cancer is a rising challenge globally — but what if early detection could be as simple, accessible, and rapid as today’s most common diagnostic tests? Our 2024 Biomedical Research Grant Awardee, Dr. Gopinath Packirisamy from the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, has taken on this challenge by reimagining how clinicians can detect early signs of bladder cancer — using everyday samples and smart sensing science! This innovation explores new ways to spot subtle biological clues long before symptoms appear, with the potential to make early screening more accurate, affordable, and widely available. Curious how this works — and why it could be a game-changer for cancer screening?

<p class="bodytext" style="text-align: justify;">India is rapidly transforming into a dynamic hub of intellectual innovation and discovery. To support the science and technology ecosystem in the country, the Sree Padmavathi Venkateswara Foundation has created peer- reviewed funding programs that recognize exceptional researchers with the potential to achieve ground-breaking results in areas of critical national
importance. Our foundation provides these researchers with generous funding and empowering mentorship to generate knowledge and develop sustainable solutions of the highest quality, particularly in the fields of biomedical and agricultural research. We also work on projects to deploy advanced knowledge and improve the income of small and marginal farmers. We believe that by working together, we can create sustainable solutions that will benefit not only India but also the world.</p>
