This project of mapping the researchers in the life sciences in India, was inspired by and is an outcome of the 10^th edition of YIM (2018) in Thiruvananthapuram. It was initiated to serve as a resource to:

1. Help locate and connect the community of life science researchers, including (but not limited to) the past attendees of the YIM series
2. Help map the pool of resources providing relevant information (location, affiliation, discipline, expertise, and links to lab websites)
3. Help foster collaborations and cross-disciplinary interactions within the community
