Our team is participating in @PacBio Prism 2026 at Fukuoka Japan. Our CEO Dushyant Singh Baghel and Dr Sathish Peddamma DGM R&D will be available for the discussion. #PacBioPrism2026
What happens when there is no diagnosis❓For millions, this is reality.
⏳ 5 years on average to diagnose a rare disease
🔍 44% consult 4+ healthcare professionals
On #UndiagnosedDay, we stand with those still searching for answers.

Deeply saddened by the passing of J. Craig Venter. His contributions to genomics were monumental, and his loss is immense for the entire scientific community. Our sincere condolences to his family, colleagues, and friends. A legend who will never be forgotten.
#RIP
MSSRF is excited to launch a new podcast series, Science Simply.
Our first episode drops on May 5 and tackles the question on everyone’s mind: how do we cope with a world that keeps getting hotter? Let’s ask the science.
Science Simply breaks down complex science into simple usable ideas and actionable takeaways. Hosted by Dr. Soumya Swaminathan (@doctorsoumya), one of the most trusted scientists and public health voices, each episode will bring you clear answers to big questions—from climate and health to food and nature.
🎙️ Tune in on May 5th.

Advancing precision diagnostics for rare genetic disorders 🧬
Researchers at @BRIC_CDFD are integrating genomics, biochemistry, cell-based systems, and mouse models to uncover novel gene–disease associations and interpret variants of uncertain significance in monogenic disorders.
The team identified a biologically significant
nonsense variant in the novel gene Serpin A11, linked to a perinatal lethal serpinopathy, and is investigating its role in early fetal development.
They are also developing a cell-based colorimetric assay for Glycogen Storage Disorder Type 1A (G6PC1 deficiency), reducing reliance on invasive liver biopsies.
Through these efforts, BRIC–CDFD is strengthening rare disease diagnostics and enabling informed genetic counselling.

Love your tea, but not the caffeine?
CSIR–North East Institute of Science and Technology (@CSIR_NEIST) presents India’s first indigenously developed decaffeinated black tea—with 90–95% less caffeine, yet the same rich flavour you love.
Enjoy the tea, minus the caffeine.

At the press conference on the launch of first call of the #RDI Fund through @tdbgoi, Hon’ble Union Minister @DrJitendraSingh highlighted that the ₹1 lakh crore RDI Fund offers low-interest, flexible funding with equity support & has received strong response from the private sector.
Designed to be used in its true spirit, the fund enables projects to reach maturity, take off sustainably, and build healthy public-private partnerships—with handholding from the @IndiaDST's and @tdbgoi's support.

In January, we delivered a record 25 family trios, comprising 75 whole #genome HiFi sequencing data of #RareDisease unresolved cases, to @BRIC_CDFD in just 25 days. This enabled the Heckathon to be conducted within a very tight schedule. https://t.co/SJM5XWa5u0
