Lab alum session in the retreat warms my ❤️. Joining us from Germany, Texas, Estonia, Sweden, France, Blore, Pune, Vellore, them sharing lab memories, hearing about their projects, the old and new branches connecting, look at the broad smiles! What more can a PI want? 🫶🏻❤️
We are turning 4 in 2 wks. As tradition goes, I take the lab to a retreat to celebrate our collective wins - big & small, acknowledge contributions of all, course-correct, strategize, 🧠 storm, eat lots, laugh 😆 silly, and essentially regenerate- because it starts with us! ❤️
Excited to share our preprint. We mapped chromatin architecture across CNS development and injury, uncovering how the 3D genome holds a hidden memory of regenerative potential. @AnishaSumith "https://t.co/gJlC6RJuT0"
Three years ago this project began as a question during my PhD.
Two years optimising and generating datasets, one more learning to listen to the data.
Science rewards patience with complexity.
This one is for everyone who believed in the question before there were any answers
We've been obsessed with the 3D genome lately. Our preprint will tell you why. We mapped 3D topology, layer by layer, across Development and Injury, guess what?! Neurons retain latent cellular memory that triggers rewiring of the 3D genome upon injury!!! https://t.co/yKPoNiimY2
Every PhD is dotted with milestones, one such here @ccmb_csir is open doctoral committee talks! Today my first student @Yogeshsahu2030 , dedication and hard work personified, presented his work and I couldn’t be prouder 🥳🥳🥳🥳 onwards and upwards yogesh!
Every year during our Annual Research Council meeting, the Director highlights student achievements from the past year.. this year, we made up a whole slide with our lab wins 🏆 As a PI, crew recognition >>>>> all else! I feel so proud of the crew, Take a bow guys!

Grand finale? We bagged 3 poster awards! 🏆🥇
Look, 2025 was... a choice (iykyk 💀), but 2026 is already seeking redemption. Our mentor @Ishwariya13 was beaming even harder than us! We wrapped the win with a chaotic Delhi sightseeing run and raiding Sarojini with the crew.
Our lab didn’t just show up; we arrived. We rolled up with 12 posters! 💪This was actually one of the most entertaining conferences I've been to—the talks on cutting-edge regeneration techniques were mind-blowin. So glad I got to witness the magic. 🧠✨
2026 came in swinging! We kicked things off Jan 6th @ShivNadarUniv CMMDR conference. Day 1: Watching our mentor @Ishwariya13 present mine & @Yogeshsahu2030 work. Honestly, sitting in the audience watching my project on the big screen felt like attending a my own movie premiere
You know what happens when your student takes the podium and delivers a seamless talk at a conference? You want to jump up and whistle 😗 when he finishes 😄😁 I’ll save that for when we come back to the lab but for now pls cheer with me for @Yogeshsahu2030’s 3rd invited talk!
A perfect way to wrap up the year: Preprint #5 is live! 📝✨
Huge shoutout to @netrakrish on her very first paper—the youngest first author in our lab! It’s also my 2nd, first author preprint of 2025.
Grateful for this incredible team and a productive year of science. 🧪🔬
Ending 2025 with our 5th preprint for this year 🎉 this time work co-lead by @netrakrish and @AnishaSumith , where we discover that nucleosome eviction around pro-growth genes underlies successful chromatin remodeling in injured neurons. For more - https://t.co/tQzxtwcRW1
What happens when there are 15 cool gifts and you’re allowed to steal from anyone? Laughter and chaos of course! But alls well that ends well. Smiling faces with their final Xmas gifts. Mine is xtra spl- a glass calligraphy pen with purple ink ✍️ Merry Xmas from our lab fam to u!
@JioCare Yes, i received calls after calls just to tell me that the network is optimum. But this happens at night and especially over the weekends. Weekends rolled by and look at the speed.
@JioCare My “5G unlimited” plan is amazing — unlimited money from me and unlimited excuses from you. Connectivity? Ah yes, the rarest feature of all. Complained thrice, still no improvement. Please fix this, because it honestly feels like I’ve been scammed for months. 🙂
@JioCare Well, I’ve only been getting calls saying “some work is going on” — and I’ve been hearing that for months. Sharing a screenshot here to show the absolutely zero connectivity I’ve had for the last half hour.
Ok our Lab tree 🌲 is up so Xmas season has officially set in our lab 🎄🎅🏻 First tree decoration for @TheLostTAD , @dhanuush_ , @Athulnarayanps and @AarthiSukumar27 ❤️ missing all lab alum this day, one of the fav days in lab for everyone ❤️❤️
