About the Club

Our logo is proudly based on the WABRI colors to suggest our association with the institute, and aims to represent the professional group of postgraduate students that make up the club. The symbol represents a DNA helix on it's side to illustrate that we are innovative and lateral in our abilities to think, problem solve and interact.

The logo also includes our mission statement which is to produce world class research scholars. It was designed by Dave Chandler.
