Ventures

What I've started and what I'm building — plus an open door if you have an idea worth starting together.

Photography

Shooting as @pixapot. Faces, light and cities in monochrome, one full frame at a time.

A — The person behind the output

Research, building,
pictures, music.
All of it, at once.

I'm Uddalak. I keep four things running in parallel and I've stopped trying to rank them — each one makes the others sharper. Cancer biology and computational drug discovery is the discipline I trained in and still practise daily.

The rest isn't a hobby shelf. I build ventures because a good idea deserves to exist somewhere other than a paper. I shoot as @pixapot because attention is a single muscle and it needs subjects that won't hold still. I sing because it's the oldest habit I have. I travel because the next city I haven't worked in is the one dataset I don't have yet. The framing I learned behind a camera is the framing I use on a figure.

Off the bench

MUSIC

I sing, and I listen hard

Singing is the oldest habit I have. Music is how the reading gets done and how the writing gets finished — and a good live set beats most conferences.

TRAVEL

New places, on purpose

Travel is the other half of the camera. Every new city is a new dataset, and the best ideas have all arrived somewhere other than a desk.

PHOTOGRAPHY

@pixapot

Faces, light and cities in monochrome. The same attention a molecule gets, aimed at something that won't hold still for a second exposure.

BUILDING

Startups on the side

Science is the product, not just the paper. I keep one or two things in build at any time — see Ventures.

Index

R — Research output

Every paper,
measured and linked.

The charts below describe the whole body of work: quartile, authorship position, year, research domain, publishing house and indexing status. Hover any mark for its exact value.

Underneath, the full list — each paper carrying its own tags, and filterable by any of those dimensions. Every entry opens at the publisher via its DOI. Quartiles are SJR best-quartile, 2025 release.

              V — What I've started

              Ideas are cheap.
              Shipping them
              isn't.

              Ventures across whatever the problem happens to be — software, products, services, media. Some grew out of the lab. Most didn't, and don't need to.

              What carries across is the method: define the thing, build the smallest honest version, test it against reality, keep what survives. Each venture appears here as it becomes public.

              Pitch me

              Got an idea
              worth starting?

              Any idea, any sector. A company you need a co-founder for, a product that needs building, an investment or partnership, or a change you'd make to something I've already started. No deck required — just say it plainly.

              mostly.

              Faces, light and cities — the same attention a molecule gets, aimed at something that moves.

              It lands everywhere.

              A new publication recomputes every chart and every count. A new venture appears on the ventures page. A new photograph joins the sequence. Each change stamps the “last updated” date in the footer.
