Ambarish Ghosh, a professor at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, is developing microscopic robots that could potentially transform cancer treatment. These tiny, magnetically controlled machines are designed to navigate complex biological environments, detect diseased cells, and deliver medicines directly to targeted tissues. The technology could help make cancer treatment more precise by reducing damage to healthy cells and minimising the side effects of therapy. Ghosh is also the co-founder of Theranautilus Pvt Ltd, a company working on nanorobotics and its medical applications.
He also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University. Additionally, Professor Ambarish Ghosh and his team from IISc’s Centre for Nano Science and Engineering received a National Award from the Technology Development Board (TDB), Department of Science and Technology (DST). Ghosh completed his Master of Science (MS) in Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, where he studied from 1992 to 1997. He subsequently pursued a PhD in Physics at Brown University in the United States from 1997 to 2004.
