"During my IB program, I was fortunate to have an exceptional mentor who profoundly shaped my academic journey. Mr. Karthik guided me through research in computational biology, where I learned advanced computational techniques and explored immunoinformatics. The passion for research that he helped cultivate continues to drive me at university, where I am proactive and deeply immersed in research work. His expertise and dedication played a critical role in helping me achieve a perfect score of 7 in biology. Beyond academics, he inspired me to push my boundaries, nurturing my passion for research and expanding my understanding."

“Karthik Sir’s mentorship during high school profoundly shaped my passion for research and critical thinking. His teaching extended beyond textbooks, integrating real-world applications and contemporary scientific studies.
Under his guidance, I explored advanced topics like the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) pathway and conducted research on caffeine’s effect on yeast growth, emphasizing rigorous methodologies and independent thinking. His support also enabled me to contribute to Dr. Reddy’s Labs through my zebrafish breeding optimization research.
His mentorship instilled a lifelong curiosity and commitment to meaningful scientific inquiry, laying a strong foundation for my academic and research pursuits.”
