A clinician who builds.

Most dermatologists treat patients. Most AI researchers build models. Very few people do both — fewer still at the level of India's most rigorous medical institution.

Dr. Vinolyn operates in that rare overlap. By day, she sees patients in the AIIMS Delhi OPD and assists in the operating theatre. By research, she's developing AI models for medical imaging, annotating clinical datasets, and validating computer vision systems that could bring expert-grade diagnostics to places no dermatologist will ever reach.

Her work is guided by one question:

What becomes possible when clinical depth meets computational scale?

Proof, not promises.

Let's build something that matters.

Dr. Vinolyn is looking for collaborators who share one belief: the most interesting work in medicine is happening at the edges — where AI meets clinical practice, where rare diseases meet rigorous documentation, where urban research meets rural deployment.

If you're building in any of these areas, there's a conversation worth having.

Collaboration areas

Research partnerships

Clinical studies, AI model development, dataset curation, validation cohorts, and co-authorship on peer-reviewed work.

Industry & medical affairs

Advisory roles for dermatology-focused pharma and medtech — clinical trial design, KOL engagement, and product launches.

Speaking & private engagements

Conference talks, panels, CME sessions, drug launches, and clinical training programs.
