A journey that started with a brother and ended up in a lab.
Aadhithya Ramesh is an Independent Bioengineering Researcher. His brother has autism. That fact has driven many of the questions he asks, the research experiences he has sought out, and his desire to build things that are useful in the real world.
"I did not go to Dr. Lee's lab looking to build a product. I went because I wanted to be close to the science, and because I hoped that being inside a real neuroscience lab might help me find ways to help my brother."
Dr. Lee was extraordinarily generous. Aadhithya reached out to her through a cold email, with no prior connection and no guarantee of a response. She read it, took it seriously, and gave him the chance to come into her lab and learn from the inside. That single act of kindness is the reason EuLee exists.
What he found there was careful, serious science held together by email threads and manual spreadsheets. Every day Eugenio and the team logged records by hand, cross-checked counts by eye, and kept everything consistent across reports that lived in inboxes. Small things slipped. A count that did not add up. A correction that never made it back to the original record.
He started building EuLee to close that gap. Not to change how the lab works, but to give the science the structure and traceability it deserves. Every animal. Every action. Every timestamp. One clear record the whole team can trust.
