About Us

Bharat Microbial Genome Atlas is the result of collaborative work between Amrita School of Biotechnology and Sivasakthi Science Foundation.

Together, we connect biotechnology, artificial intelligence, computational biology, scientific training, and public data infrastructure to support responsible genomic discovery.

Interdisciplinary by design

Scientific leadership, software engineering, institutional alliances, and student research contribute to one shared platform.

Built for public scientific value

The collaboration supports research, education, training, and reusable genomic knowledge with clear evidence boundaries.

Built through collaboration

The database combines complementary institutional strengths to create durable scientific resources and stronger pathways for research participation.
