About AvoBio

The Story

It started with a bedtime question.

My six year old, Amrit, asked me how tsunamis are created. He's fascinated by natural disasters, the idea that nature can do something so massive and powerful. I didn't have a great answer, and that led to another question: why is the sun on fire?

None of us knew. So I started digging.

That curiosity took me down a rabbit hole I never expected. Protons, electrons, atoms. Solar flares. How our solar system formed. The magic of gravity. And somehow, that path eventually led me to gene splicing.

That's when I learned you need an empty plasmid to do this work. And that's when things got really interesting.

I discovered how DNA was first identified. How mitochondria carry their own genetic code. How DNA operates like machine code, a language that builds life. How there are over 54,000 known plasmids, each with different sizes and functions. The deeper I went, the more fascinating it became. I'm still on that path.

But I also noticed something else. Getting your hands on the right plasmid, especially if you're a smaller lab, an educator, or a hobbyist, is harder than it should be. Slow delivery. Licensing headaches. Barriers that don't need to exist.

My wife Madhuri spent years working as a lab technician and in research roles. When I started sharing what I was learning, we both saw the same thing: an opportunity to actually help.

I'm good at operations, building systems, making things efficient. She knows how labs work and what researchers actually need. Together, we decided to build something.

AvoBio exists to get you the plasmids you need, fast, without the legal friction. Generic vectors. License free. Ready to use.
