Amrita Mind Brain Center

Amrita Mind Brain Center researchers attended the"Blooming Bharat" event at Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, Thiruvananthapuram.

The program brought together more than 400 under the age of 40, including Ph.D. scholars, postgraduate researchers and professionals from universities and research institutions across four districts of .

The program featured keynote addresses by Shri Dattatreya Hosabale and former ISRO Chairman Dr. S. Somanath, Padma Shri Sridhar Vembu (CEO, Zoho), Dr. Ganesh Kannampiran, Dr. Sisa Thomas, Dr. Mohan Kunnummal and Prof. M. S. Ramesan.

At the National Healthcare Skills Conclave 2026, Dr. Shyam Diwakar shared perspectives on digital brain health technologies and their growing relevance to India’s evolving healthcare ecosystem. His address showcased interdisciplinary research in neuroscience and artificial intelligence from the Amrita Mind Brain Center, emphasizing skill development and innovation readiness among young clinicians and researchers.

The inaugural session was honored by Dr. Dharmesh Kumar Lal, Scientist-E and Deputy Director General (DDG) at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), who attended as the Chief Guest.

Students-led study titled “A Biochemical Systems Theory Model for Autoimmune Mechanisms in Alzheimer’s Disease: Simulating Aβ-induced and ” aimed to computationally model and pathways in Alzheimer’s using the AD2 framework. The work applied a Biochemical Systems Theory (BST) approach to capture how Aβ-mediated signaling may initiate self-sustaining neuroinflammatory cycles contributing to neurodegeneration.

The research was carried out as part of the 2025 program at the Amrita School of Biotechnology by students Maitrayee Ghosh, Varshini Ravikumar and Harish Kalaiselvi under the guidance of Dr. Asha Vijayan & Ms. Sowmiyakrishna G of Amrita Mind Brain Center & presented at the 7th International Conference on Computer & Communication Technologies (IC3T 2025), hosted by the Department of CSE (Data Science), School of Computing, Mohan Babu University, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, on 10 December 2025.

Congratulations to the team.

Amrita Mind Brain Center proudly highlights the achievements of a team of B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering students — Rohith Alikkal, Venkat Harsh*th Akula, Bhuvan Shankar & Midhun Krishna, under the guidance of Dr. Sandeep Bodda, Sowmiya Krishna and Prof. Shyam Diwakar, presented their research paper titled
“Implementing and Deploying a Student-Friendly GUI-Based Platform for Signal Processing”
at International on and , .

Presented by Akula Venkat Harsh*th, this work was carried out as part of their internship program at Amrita Mind Brain Center.

The project focuses on creating a graphical user interface that makes EEG signal processing more accessible to — enabling them to , and analyze data interactively.

Congratulations to the team!

Prof. Shyam Diwakar, Director of the Amrita Mind Brain Center, delivered a talk on “Digital Brain Twins: Multiscale Modelling of Neurons and Brain Circuits” at 2.0, organized by Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune, last month.

His talk focused on how modeling, , and data-driven approaches can be integrated to advance our understanding of function across multiple scales — from individual to complex neural circuits — while showcasing the ongoing innovations at the Amrita Mind Brain Center.

On this auspicious , may your be filled of , & . We wish you in all your learning endeavours.

🧠 On , let’s remember: Memory matters. Support the journey.

Students and staff of Amrita Mind Brain Center participated in a drive yesterday, as part of the celebrations, joining the global movement alongside Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and Mata Amritanandamayi Math. Organized in groups, participants carried out cleaning activities in and around , , , and .

The initiative highlighted the importance of environmental and community , inspiring everyone to work together towards building cleaner, healthier, and more surroundings.

Amrita Mind Brain Center virtual lab work has been presented as poster titled “An Open-Source Approach to Develop a Student-Centric Virtual Laboratory in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology” by Sreelekshmi Sreekumar, at ICSRF 2025, hosted by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham.

The presented work highlights the and implementation of a novel learning platform designed to make advanced bioinformatics and computational biology tools accessible to students.

The was co-authored by VL team from Mind Brain Center, Rakhi Radhamani, Dr. Asha Vijayan,Dr. Krishnashree Achuthan from Amrita Center for Cybersecurity Systems and Networks & Prof. Shyam Diwakar from Amrita Mind Brain Center.
