Aniruth Ananthanarayanan

Hi, I'm Aniruth, an undergrad studying bioengineering at Stanford University. I'm passionate about research and innovation, particularly in the fields of thoracic surgery and (abdominal) organ transplantation! My background involves a combination of clinical observation, laboratory research, and computational modeling.


In my free time, I enjoy playing horror games and long-distance running. I'm always excited to collaborate and discuss exciting opportunities so feel free to reach out—I try to respond fast!
