Ramesh Ramji, Illumina, San Diego, CA

Dr. Ramesh Ramji is a passionate bioengineer who enjoys inventing novel platforms for clinical diagnostics, engineering, and applied sciences. He is currently a Scientist at Illumina, a company that is a leading developer and manufacturer of integrated systems for large-scale analysis of genetic variation and function. Dr. Ramji graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and completed two post-doctoral stints - at NUS and Yale - prior to joining Illumina. He holds five patents so far and authored several publications on integrative assay technologies.

Using innovative high throughput microfluidic techniques, he has created several analytical platforms that allow biological assays to be conducted at reduced cost and reagent consumption. He is currently an active reviewer for RSC Advances, Molecular Biosystems, Biofabrication, and Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. Other scientific areas such as green energy, space biology, food technology, and environmental biology capture his interest, thus allowing him to explore new horizons in those domains.
