Indians in the USA are not just running Google, Microsoft, Adobe, IBM; they are also vigorously working to heal the world<\/strong>. From 14-year-old Indian American Siddharth Nandyala<\/a><\/span> who developed an AI app to detect heart attacks, to Dr. Teresa Puthussery researching to restore vision to the visually impaired, Indian-origin innovators are making a global impact. The latest on the list is Deblina Sarkar, an MIT scientist, whose invention is reimagining effective treatment of complex brain diseases without a single surgical cut.<\/p>\n Deblina Sarkar is an Indian electrical engineer, inventor, and researcher, born in Kolkata, West Bengal. Currently, she is an assistant professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A graduate of IIT Dhanbad, she completed her master\u2019s and PhD in nanoelectronics from the University of California. Deblina is best known for developing Circulatronics, a pioneering medical technology that uses microscopic, injectable electronic chips to diagnose and treat brain diseases without invasive surgery.<\/p>\n Circulatronics is the technology that could be the best invention of 2025 or one of the biggest breakthroughs in the current decade. It will revolutionize the way cerebral diseases are diagnosed and treated currently. Instead of inserting electrodes or implants through invasive procedures, MIT researcher Deblina\u2019s Circulatronics uses microscopic, wireless electronic chips (SWEDSs) that are fused with living cells and injected into the bloodstream.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Once in the body, SWEDSs \u2013 which are one billionth the size of a rice grain \u2013 drift through the bloodstream, access deceased areas in the brain, and implant themselves non-surgically. Activated and powered by an infrared laser outside the skull, the electronic chips deliver highly focused electrical stimulation to treat the impaired neurons deep in the brain. This offers a potentially safer and more accessible way to treat neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer\u2019s, chronic pain, and brain tumors.<\/p>\nWho is Deblina Sarkar, the Indian Scientist at MIT<\/strong><\/h3>\n
