Hiranandani Foundation School International, Powai Student Breakthrough: Research Paper on CRISPR-Based $3 Solution to Combat Superbugs

Harihara has conducted groundbreaking research on the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which is taking a devastating toll on global health and the economy. Projections indicate that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) could cause 10 million deaths annually by 2050, with economic losses reaching trillions of dollars. Healthcare providers worldwide are struggling due to the lack of effective treatments for resistant infections.

In response to this urgent issue, Haraihara identified a promising CRISPR-based solution. The research focused on using an ARG-cutting Cas12k effector protein, delivered via a DNA plasmid encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles, which can be administered as an antibiotic adjuvant therapy. This treatment offers a cost-effective approach, with an estimated price of under $3 per dose.

Haraihara’s work has been published in a top medical journal, contributing valuable insights into potential therapies for AMR. The next step in this research journey is to pursue further training in computational biology, with the goal of advancing novel antibiotic therapeutics.

IBDP year1 Summer programs/Internships

As the Academic Session draws to a close, we're thrilled to announce the commencement of the Summer Intern Programs for our IBDP Year 1 cohort at HFS International. Our school's academic team, along with our counseling experts, have provided extensive support to help these students navigate college program options and the rigorous application process.

We believe that these experiences will be transformative for our students. They'll have the opportunity to live away from home for an extended period, acclimate to future college life, engage in meaningful learning and interactions with peers and faculty, and develop resilience in the face of challenges. Additionally, they'll gain valuable life experiences that they can draw upon in their college essays.

For those students interested in pursuing a different path, we offer opportunities such as language immersion programs to enhance their skills in a second or third language. They may also engage in meaningful service work, allowing them to connect with local communities and make a positive impact through projects like teaching and volunteering.
