Ashish Choudhary

Research Interests

Ashish’s research is positioned at the intersection of cryobiology and diagnostics. His work focuses on applying cryopreservation techniques to diagnostic methods, with the aim of developing ready-to-use viral diagnostics. By integrating cryobiology into diagnostic workflows, he is creating both novel platforms and improved versions of existing tools—optimising them for faster, more practical end-use applications.
Although his research is primarily cell-based, Ashish has developed a strong interest in imaging. He has played an important role in maintaining the group’s imaging facilities and regularly supports other group members in developing their imaging skills.
He holds a background in microbiology and bioengineering. At Imperial College London, he developed a novel biosensing platform for transplant kidney monitoring, combining microfluidics with microelectrical biosensors. He also gained experience working with a range of bacterial systems during his time there.
Outside the lab, Ashish enjoys playing squash, swimming, cooking, and watching movies. He also has a growing interest in the application of synthetic biology in therapeutics and diagnostics.
