Mitali Mukerji AI Research to advance personalised health after years of pioneering research combining Ayurveda with genomics. The IIT Jodhpur scientist began her research journey at IISc Bengaluru, where she explored how modern genomic science could study traditional Indian medical knowledge. Her work helped to develop the field of Ayurgenomics, but the approach initially faced criticism and scepticism. Mukerji continued researching the links between biology, genetics and individual health. She is now applying AI to build a more personalised approach to healthcare by bringing together biological, environmental and lifestyle information. The goal is to understand why people respond differently to health interventions and develop more individualised strategies. Her journey highlights how interdisciplinary research can connect traditional knowledge with genomics, artificial intelligence and modern healthcare. It also demonstrates how scientists can turn unconventional research questions into new directions for personalised and precision health.
