Dear Biopatrika team, thanks for the highlight. But the credit actually goes to @indranilb4u group, especially @PalSampurna14 and @TejalPathak0809 for their persistent hard work, and the other co-authors @kaushalendrapat @Anwita_Ch

Not Saturn, just life dividing beautifully! A mitotic moment captured with lattice SIM super-resolution microscope by my students @TejalPathak0809 and @PalSampurna14. @CVLab_IISERM

Hearty congratulations to the team @DiptoMukhopadhy @kaushalendrapat @Anwita_Ch @PalSampurna14 @TejalPathak0809 @ramsastrys

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

Glad to share our joint publication in @JACS_Au with the team @ramsastrys. A great example of chemistry and biology coming together to uncover a novel molecule that potently induces cell cycle arrest and blocks influenza virus infection. @DBS_IISERM @bdf_iiserm @pdfiisermohali

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

Always a pleasure to attend the AIN meeting and share our work. Fervently looking forward @DBS_IISERM @IiserMohali @CVLab_IISERM

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

Hearty congratulations to @kajalGupta1995 for successfully defending her PhD thesis! A truly proud moment as a mentor. Special thanks to Prof. S. Ganesh (IIT Kanpur), @KausikChatt, and @skmishra_iiserm for their valuable insights. @CVLab_IISERM @DBS_IISERM @IiserMohali

Hearty congratulations to Sampurna @PalSampurna14

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

Warm congratulations to @PalSampurna14 from our lab for winning the Best Poster Award at the All India Cell Biology Conference 2025 held at IIT Kanpur. Thanks to @48thAICBC_IITK for organizing such an outstanding academic feast. @IiserMohali @CVLab_IISERM @DBS_IISERM

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

Honoured to be attending and giving a talk at the 48th All India Cell Biology Conference & Symposium (AICBCS 2025). Even more special as it’s being held at my alma mater, IIT Kanpur. Looking forward to reconnecting and sharing our work! 🙏✨ #AICBCS2025 #CellBiology #IITKanpur

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

Delighted to share our latest @biorxiv_cellbio preprint revealing a noncanonical lipid raft–mediated pathway exploited by influenza virus for host cell entry, and the key host factors that orchestrate it. This study was led by @kajalGupta1995 @CVLab_IISERM https://t.co/VdVwkxPqKE

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

What a fantastic start to the @AmerSocVirol meeting with the inaugural talk by Charles Rice (Nobel Laureate, 2020). Had a wonderful conversation with Charles, an old friend of my PhD supervisor, Ari Helenius. @IiserMohali @DBS_IISERM @CVLab_IISERM

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

How do human pathogenic viruses exploit cathepsins (lysosomal proteases) to break into host cells? Our latest @JVirology review, jointly contributed by @TejalPathak0809 and @PalSampurna14, summarises the latest findings @IiserMohali @DBS_IISERM

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

How to monitor influenza virus trafficking inside the cell? Together with @kajalGupta1995 , @TejalPathak0809, and @vniskon, we have authored a book chapter on step-wise detection of influenza virus cellular entry using advanced fluorescence microscopy. https://t.co/Nyy9ch6AGZ

Had an amazing time at the Autophagy India Network (AIN) meeting @ccmb_csir! Fascinating talks, exciting scientific discussions, and so much fun! Huge thanks to @Chauhanlab_ILS and @sriram_varahan for the impeccable organization and warm hospitality!

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

It’s time again to gather for the Autophagy India Network (AIN) meeting 2025 @ccmb_csir Hyderabad! Looking forward to top-notch scientific talks, reconnecting with friends, and loads of 😎 @CVLab_IISERM @Chauhanlab_ILS

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

Many thanks to @AdhesionLab and @TPucadyil for making the 2nd organelle biogenesis and membrane trafficking (OBMT 2024) meeting such a grand success. Outstanding talks, lively interactions and discussions, and loads of fun! Truly an unforgettable experience! @IISERPune

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

Proud to be part of this wonderful study, today published in Nature Communications @NatureComms! Hearty congratulations to the entire team @SamratLabMohali, @PuniaGK, @CVLab_IISERM

[Cellular Virology Lab @ IISER Mohali @CVLab_IISERM]

Thrilled to see my PhD student, Kajal Gupta @kajalGupta1995, presenting her exciting findings on influenza virus trafficking at the 'Awesome Lysosome Meeting' in Naples, Italy! #Lysosome #ProudAdvisor #WomenInScience @indranilb4u

[Cellular Virology Lab @ IISER Mohali @CVLab_IISERM]

Hearty congratulations to Dr. Nirmal Kumar @vniskon on the award of his PhD degree at the 13th Convocation of @IiserMohali. The CVLians of @CVLab_IISERM wish him a great start in his next career move and scintillating accomplishments ahead!

[Indranil Banerjee @indranilb4u]

It was a moment of immense pride and joy to witness my first PhD student @vniskon receiving his PhD degree at the 13th Convocation of @IiserMohali. Hearty congratulations, Dr. Nirmal Kumar @vniskon! Keep climbing to greater heights #PhD #ProudAdvisor @CVLab_IISERM @DBS_IISERM
