IPC has some dealings with Herta through Asta, whose family is IPC and who is the manager of Herta Station (Herta herself is entirely hands off of the whole thing and didn't care all that much it was attacked by the anti-matter legion in the game start). She's the only member who has business dealings with the IPC, and her focus isn't into biology.
Ruan Mei (who is the biologist genius) is a hermit who doesn't have anything to do with the IPC.
The IPC as an entity who is pretty much the backbone of the economy of the cosmos, has the capital to deal with geniuses, as they are able to provide money, resources, rare objects/info/etc. from all corners of the cosmos.
The Xianzhou as an entity is focused on war with the Abundance, and then outside of that is pretty much self contained. They receive diplomatic visitors and offers to some extent, but they don't do much outreach that's not related to Abundance-issues.
The Vidyadhara are a faction that belongs to the Xianzhou but as far as we have seen, they do not shape the Xianzhou's diplomatic policies. Nor are they important enough (or have enough to offer) in the general scheme of things for someone from the Genius Society to deign to reach out to them. (Like, scholars from the Intelligensia Guild might sneak around doing shady experiments off of Vidyadhara in a search for immortality, but those of the Genius Society can invent multiple ways of achieving immortality themselves.)
Ruan Mei messed around with Propagation because she was specifically looking to research Emanator status for a Path that currently doesn't have an Aeon in charge. Theoretically, she could've gone for any Aeon-less path, such as Beauty, Trailblaze, etc. But she had the data to do this for Propagation due to the Simulated Universe Swarm Disaster. Permanence disappeared long before that, and the lore hasn't given any examples of what a Permanence Emanator used to be like.
