Recent advances in DNA Storage

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.
