AI researcher and Associate Professor with expertise in machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, and healthcare applications. My research focuses on developing practical AI-driven solutions for real-world healthcare challenges. I am currently working on an AI-based snakebite wound classification and assessment solution using computer vision to support faster identification of suspected snakebite cases and improve access to timely care, particularly in resource-constrained settings.

I am a venom researcher and Senior Lecturer, specialising in snake venom biology, toxinology and snakebite. My research investigates how snake venoms exert their effects at the molecular and cellular level, with a particular focus on venom composition, toxin function and the mechanisms underlying local tissue damage. I develop innovative models and approaches to study venom activity and identify new therapeutic strategies for snakebite.

Lifeline Against Snakebite Initiatives (LASI) is a Nigerian community-focused organisation dedicated to reducing deaths and disabilities from snakebite in vulnerable rural and farming communities. LASI is developing LASI-SERP, a community-led emergency response and digital surveillance model connecting trained community responders, referral pathways and health facilities to reduce delays in accessing appropriate care. LASI is seeking multidisciplinary mentors and partnership in related areas.

I am the Founder and CEO of GreenGoods, an agri-tech social enterprise in Laos, and a PhD candidate in International Agricultural Technology at Seoul National University. With over 10 years of experience managing KOICA-funded agricultural development projects, I specialize in data-driven disease diagnostic protocols, livestock health management, and circular economy models for smallholder farmers in Southeast Asia. Our team successfully reduced poultry mortality rates from 47% to 0.6%.

The Lachesis Foundation is a nonprofit working to make every snakebite survivable. We are product designers, technologists and snake experts who build an AI-enabled WhatsApp service and offline-capable app that guide people before, during and after a bite: first aid, snake identification and links to snake catchers, poison centres and health facilities. Both strengthen local systems and clinical judgement rather than replacing them. With Reach Digital Health we are user testing in South Africa.

Abheejit Khandagale is Founder & CEO of Ekatra Learning Inc., a social enterprise delivering AI-powered micro-learning to underserved populations across rural India and refugee settings via WhatsApp and low-bandwidth channels. Ekatra has reached 35,000+ learners with completion rates of 65-75%, far above industry norms, through its AI tutor "Alfred" and spaced-learning delivery model. Partners include UNHCR, Deloitte, WEF, and the Government of India.

I am an IT Professor at UC Banilad, a multi-awarded hackathon champion, and a developer focused on edge AI. As part of Team VERPTO, I co-developed Project CURA, an emergency routing platform engineered under a "Dead Internet" rule for severe network collapses. We are currently adapting our sub-2KB payload reporting and offline clinical triage system for the Snakebite Innovation Prize to manage acute envenomation and resource logistics in remote communities.

I am a Colombian nurse and epidemiologist with experience working alongside Indigenous communities and government institutions in the Colombian Amazon. I have contributed to the design of public health interventions that respond to communities’ social and cultural contexts. In my role as a public health advisor to the Amazonas Department Health Secretariat, I focus on monitoring and evaluating integrated public health management at the territorial level
