Turmerik

🎓 Congratulations to our teammate Tanvi Mittal on her graduation from Carnegie Mellon University with her Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering with an additional major in Biomedical Engineering! We’re so proud of everything she’s accomplished and excited to see what’s next as she moves to Syracuse. Grateful to have her as part of the team. Her thoughtfulness, technical sharpness, and quiet determination continue to inspire us every day. Onward and upward, Tanvi! 💫

Welcome Sanjana Dalal to Turmerik! Sanjana Dalal is a graduate student at North Carolina State University studying Computer Science with a strong interest in artificial intelligence, machine learning. She is passionate about building AI-driven, data-rich systems that solve real-world challenges - and she’s equally energized by working with collaborative, mission-driven teams. At Turmerik, she’ll be helping us scale solutions that empower healthcare through intelligent systems. Outside of work, you’ll find her running, hiking, exploring new sports, or playing competitive badminton for the North Carolina State University’s Badminton team.

Congrats to Linda Saikali! She just started at Cooper for residency! Huge shoutout to Linda for her incredible work at Turmerik! 🚀 From evaluating the accuracy of our OCR pipeline on complex medical data, to diving deep into datasets like MIMIC-IV and UK Biobank for patient-trial matching, Linda brought both precision and curiosity to every project. She also designed a thoughtful rubric to assess how well large language models (like GPT-4 and Gemini) can generate clinical trial protocols — and benchmarked them against real-world stroke management standards. Grateful for her sharp thinking, collaborative spirit, and genuine passion for building AI tools that matter in healthcare. #AIinHealthcare #ClinicalTrials #DataScience #residency #medicine #TeamTurmerik #AI #healthcare

Congrats to Rebecca John and Ayushi Sinha and thank you Oscar Wong for the opportunity to share about how we are building the future of AI and healthcare!

Welcome to Turmerik, Karthik Krishnan! Karthik is an M.S. in Bioinformatics at Georgia Tech, where he majored in Computer Science and concentrated in simulation and intelligence as an undergrad. He is passionate about modeling complex systems and crafting representations that make their underlying structures clear to wider audiences. To that end, he is currently working with the Center for Microbial Dynamics and Infection to build an agent-based simulation tool for microbiologists to study the aggregate dynamics of P. aeruginosa. Karthik is passionate about leveraging computation to improve health outcomes, particularly for South Asians and underserved communities. Outside of the lab, he enjoys cooking, hiking, and cheering on the Georgia Tech Rowing Team where he rowed club crew for 4 years.

Welcome to Turmerik, Jasmine Liu! Jasmine is an undergraduate at Harvard studying Computer Science and Economics. She has worked on independent AI research projects in healthcare, including a navigation system for visually impaired people and a rare cancer survival prediction system. She has won awards in international research competitions including the International Science and Engineering Fair. She is currently working on AI in healthcare research with funding awarded from the Harvard Kempner Institute. On campus, Jasmine is also involved in the Harvard Undergraduate Machine Intelligence Club as a project leader.
