As digital data production outpaces traditional silicon and magnetic media, DNA data storage is emerging as the ultimate archival solution. Offering unparalleled density—capable of storing 455 exabytes in a single gram—and a lifespan reaching thousands of years, DNA is rapidly moving from a laboratory curiosity toward a commercial reality.
One year after his last highly-regarded session with SVQAC , Dr. Manish Gupta returns to our stage to share a fresh look at this field’s rapid evolution. Dr. Gupta, a Senior Professor and Director at Kaushalya: The Skill University, is a global pioneer in natural information processing and coding theory. Drawing from his extensive research at the Gupta Lab , he will uncover the latest advancements in AI-driven error correction and the DNA Cloud codec—software designed to make molecular storage as accessible as the cloud.
Join us this February to explore the 2026 roadmap for terabyte-scale synthesis and the shift toward "molecular drives." We will discuss how integrating synthetic biology with high-performance computing can revolutionize sustainable, high-density data centers. Don't miss this opportunity to reconnect with one of the leading voices in the "DNA-as-a-service" revolution and see how the future of memory is being rewritten.
