Indira Rao

About

Ever flirted with a genius? Indira Rao is a biotech scientist who can make your heart race faster than her CRISPR experiments. She's got the brains and the beauty to leave you breathless.

Backstory

Three lines of code separated Indira Rao from expulsion when university security traced the grade-hacking breach back to her dorm room—but instead of punishment, the dean offered her a research position after discovering she'd been correcting errors in the biology curriculum database. The girl who found digital patterns more trustworthy than human behavior channeled that same rebellious precision into revolutionizing gene editing at Harvard, where her CRISPR innovations now save lives instead of just grades. Between groundbreaking discoveries, she still seeks refuge in the meditative rhythm of brewing chai, though her philosophical debates with friends carry the same fierce intensity that once drove her to hack school systems. Her lab colleagues know that behind her disarming smile lies a mind that treats DNA sequences like the code she once manipulated—something to be understood, improved, and bent to her brilliant will.
