I suffer from #ictalheadaches immediately after having a #seizure. The more severe the seizure the worse the headaches are for me. 💜🧠
Just another reason why people need to learn more about #epilepsy.

Teaching since 2012 & still figuring it out! Thanks to all my BTech/MTech/ PhD students & research interns for the endless questions & curveballs! You’ve helped me grow as much as I hope I’ve helped you. Here’s to learning, laughing, & surviving together. Happy Teachers' Day!🍎😄
Excited to share our review on innate immune activation and neuroinflammatory pathways in epilepsy, published in Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews. Thankful to my mentor for the constant guidance and support! 🙏✨ #EpilepsyResearch

Seeing early-career researchers like @Priya_Solanki_ lead high-impact work inspires hope for the future of brain health research.
Here’s to science that changes lives. 🌟 👏 Proud mentor moment!!

💡 Why this matters:
Understanding the Immune–Brain link could help us
- Predict who is at higher seizure risk
- Design therapies to calm harmful inflammation and
- Improve recovery & quality of life for millions worldwide

🧠 Epilepsy isn’t just about electrical storms in the brain; the immune system plays a vital role too.
This review explains how immune cells, cytokines, and inflammatory signals may worsen seizures and brain damage, and how targeting them could open new treatment paths.
Our summer interns wrapped up their internships and moved on. What an incredible journey it’s been! Grateful to have mentored such bright, curious minds passionate about science. Here’s to them shaping tomorrow’s discoveries! 🌟🔬 #FutureScientists#STEM#Mentorship
This neuroscientist worked until she was 103.
She also:
• Won a Nobel Prize at 77
• Became a senator at 92
• Stayed mentally sharp into her 100s

Sad to miss @iiscbangalore#immunocon2024 in person but glad I still had a chance to record a talk & share our latest updates on retro engineering brain tumours into patient-derived organoids to understand innate immune signalling. @BrainWarriorsL1@iitjodhpur#LabPic 😇
Epilepsy is more than just seizures. It's inextricably linked to mental health - a fact that not many people who don't have epilepsy can truly understand.

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins.
In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.
