hi! :)
I'm Aakriti Lakshmanan
CS 👾 + Bio 🧬 + AI 👩🏽‍💻 B.S./M.S. @ Stanford 🌲
Some things I’m passionate about: AI/ML development + infrastructure, drug discovery through computational biology, building software for biologists, and sewing (I’d include those projects on here too, but there would be no space).

I’m always looking for new opportunities and projects in and near biotech. If you’d like to chat, feel free to reach out to aakritil@stanford.edu.
