Experts from IIT Madras and Karkinos Healthcare, leading the Bharat Cancer Genome Atlas (BCGA), are mapping India’s unique cancer genetics. With 950+ breast cancer samples sequenced, the project is unlocking breakthroughs in precision medicine and AI-driven diagnostics. As BCGA expands, it aims to revolutionize treatment, policy, and patient outcomes—empowering India to tackle cancer on its own terms.
