Musings

I'm a researcher, tinkerer, and product-minded strategist with a strong biotech focus. I believe synthesizing new frontiers like space, agentic AI, and wearables with traditional biosciences can augment drug discovery and development, and create better healthcare outcomes. I'm working to build and back moonshots in these spaces.

Growing up in the Bay Area, I've been inspired by the region's role in modern genetics and Silicon Valley. Over time, that inspiration became a call to action: understanding how biosciences can learn from tech-forward deployment and how technology often mirrors biological patterns, including how the AI boom can resemble a Cambrian-style explosion of forms and capabilities.

At Cal, I've focused on making science faster, smarter, and more human-centered: from building drug discovery infrastructure for rare genetic diseases to designing computational tools that quantify spaceflight effects on inflammation and skin biology. As a strategist, I've also helped scale startups, supported product and design teams through customer validation loops, and studied investor conviction in AI and deeptech.

Outside work, I explore new frontiers through travel, cinema and television, and niche hobbies like tessellation origami, Indian EDM fusion, and historical trivia. Most of all, I love learning from and building alongside extraordinary people. Reach out any time at hari [dot] parthasararthy [at] berkeley [dot] edu.
