Avinash Ramani (born May 10, 1985) is an Indian researcher known for his contributions to genomics and molecular diagnostics. Ramani studied cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in cancer diagnostics, leading to the co-founding of Acrannolife Genomics, a healthcare research laboratory.[1]

Early life and education

[edit]

Avinash Ramani was born in Chennai, India and completed his schooling across several cities in the country. He obtained a Bachelor of Technology degree in Biotechnology, followed by a Master’s in Bioinformatics from the AU-KBC Research Centre at Anna University.[2]

During his masters he presented scientific papers and attended seminars[3] and later pursued research at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M). Ramani developed an interest in cancer research after losing a family member to the disease.[4]

Ramani’s research focused on molecular signaling in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and exploring the role of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in understanding cancer progression and treatment response. His work suggested that cfDNA-based diagnostics held commercial viability, leading him to broaden his research into cfDNA's potential applications in early diagnostics, especially for adverse events in solid-organ transplantations.[5] These experiences formed the foundation for his future work in genomics.

Career

[edit]

Early in his career Ramani contributed as an intern and content writer for the health site Medindia. He built a reputation in the fields of Immunology, Molecular Diagnostics, Advanced Clinical Genomics, and Bioinformatics. Currently he serves as an honorary section editor and contributes topics related to Immunology, Bioinformatics, Genomics, and cfDNA[6]

Ramani co-founded Acrannolife Genomics, where he currently serves as the Chief Scientific Officer.

He was featured on Shark Tank India in 2023.[7]

Ramani’s work in oncology and genomics led to several patents, including a U.S. Patent[8] as well as grants from government bodies supporting his genomics research.

He contributed as speaker on cfDNA at Tribute to Life Commonwealth conference.[9]
