I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone as embark on my next adventure as a Postdoc fellow at @YaleMed and mark the end of the most exciting and transformative chapter of my academic journey, and life, at @Sankar_Lab and @ccmb_csir

[Sankar's Lab @Sankar_Lab]

Sending all the best wishes to @jotingogoi as he embarks on his exciting Postdoc journey @YaleMed !! It's been incredible having you in the lab, We'll miss you big time. Good luck🎉. #Farewell
Cheers to new beginnings!! @ccmb_csir @sankarfr1

Engineering polymerases to synthesize alternative genetic polymers remains a challenge. Using DNA shuffling and droplet microfluidics, this study provides a short evolutionary path from a DNA polymerase to one with robust RNA-synthesizing activity

[Sudipta Mondal, PhD @SudiptaCCMB]

Do lipids carry the signatures of evolution?🤔

In #Biochemistry Perspective, We 'provocatively' (as my former PhD guide & scientific guru @sankarfr1 put it ) propose an expanded view of the classic “lipid divide” idea

feedback/critiques all welcome🙌 #lipidtime @ccmb_csir

[CSIR-CCMB @ccmb_csir]

In this perspective article by @DrSankarCCMB and colleagues expand on the Lipid Divide Hypothesis to point at not one but multiple lipid divide events in eukaryotic evolution: https://t.co/KCUfmkQ9rV
But what is this hypothesis?
Read on.
