Double trouble for SCI! 🔍🧠
Our 2nd preprint is live - this time led by @Yogeshsahu2030. We’ve identified 2 key regulators of CNS axon regeneration after spinal cord injury and unpack their signaling mechanisms.

Proud of the whole team!🥳
🚨🚨Dropping our 2nd V-Lab preprint, this time on work led by @Yogeshsahu2030 🥳! We identify 2 novel regulators of CNS axon regeneration post spinal injuries in 🐭 and dive into the underlying Mol.mechanisms. Incredibly proud of the whole team (tagged). https://t.co/28HEYAA3SD
Excited to kick off our second @DBTIndia funded project! This time combinatorial stem cell/ gene therapy for spinal cord repair! @Rutuja_P13@dhanuush_@Shringika and Prakash are sculpting this story one transplant at a time, so watch out for some cool science 🧬 on this soon!
Celebrating 4 years of science, achievements and Us 🎉
From breakthroughs in the lab to almost falling into the pool 😄-every moment counts.
Cheers to us, our journey, and many more to come! #LabTurns4#IVLabretreat2026
Final pics from the retreat series. It’s hard to find your tribe, but when you do, there’s no looking back. We roast each other endlessly, laugh loudly, quirks all around but fit like the pieces of a puzzle. Science-ing needn’t be harder than it already is , right? 😁
And then came the ‘State of the Lab’…
A moment to look back, recognize everyone in lab, and celebrate how far we’ve come.
From funding wins to new projects, from firsts to becoming pros-every sash told a story ✨
#IVLabretreat2026
Another fav part of the retreat for me? As part of the state of the lab address, Individual shout-out to the crew along with a sashing ceremony (sash has the key achievement from the past year drawn with custom designs by @Rutuja_P13 ) 😁 who doesn’t love the spotlight right? ❤️
We sat down to ask a simple question:
What values define our lab?
The answers spoke-dedication, clarity, honesty, discipline, focus.
Not just words, but a reflection of how we think and work together ✨
#IVLabretreat2026
Value alignment session in the retreat was v insightful. What values do crew think embody our lab culture? It reveals individual and collective thinking. Top votes? Dedication, sense of duty, clarity, organized, honest, freedom, discipline, focus.
We entered the pool with rules, teams, and strategy…5 minutes later, no one remembered the rules, teams were irrelevant, and it turned into a full-blown splash war 💦😂 and honestly, that was the best part☺️🥰 #IVLabretreat2026
The child in you comes alive when thrown into water 💧 😂 I can attest to that, I saw the lab crew play unhinged, laugh till their cheeks hurt and be silly beyond belief 😂 this is what unwinding looks like! Haha Retreat Diaries!
Away in a farmhouse quiet literally in the middle of nowhere, chilling, cooking, playing and eating. Retreat is ON ❤️ and in true V lab style drama, the chef I booked quit in the nth hour so lunch was made by the crew that stepped up 😂❤️
Grateful for the trust, the patience, the push, and the space to grow.
Still learning, still figuring it out-but definitely more confident than the 2024 version of me. 😄
#LabLife#Gratitude#ResearchJourney
2 years in IVLab… & it honestly feels like little lifetime❣️
@Ishwariya13 Mam & I wrote 8 proposals (yes, that many). 3 shortlisted, & lucky to get 1, then I joined in 2024, stepping into something new & unfamiliar- but mam took a leap of faith on me & truly grateful she did...
What I’ll probably remember the most though is the lab itself. People from different states- all different stories. Somehow it works. Festivals, random chai breaks, retreats… it never felt like just work.
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
First time @IiserTirupati to deliver a talk as part of the SYNAPSE 2026 conference and to judge ideas as part of their IdeaThon 💡 contest! As always the best part was post talk Q&A and curious questions from students! Thanks @LabVasudha and Pavithra for the invite!
From faculty job applications to setting up a new lab-great discussions with Dr Shamik @iitbombay, @UllasKolthur, @ametasandeep, & Dr Narottam #ILS at #YIM2026, followed by an engaging poster session. A glimpse into the realities of academic life ahead. #YIM2026
Great to hear from institutional reps. & postdocs at #YIM2026 today! We learned about academic job application process, what different universities offer, & heard inspiring research journeys from postdocs. A great mix of career insights and real lab stories. @IndiaBioscience
Today on Day 3 at #YIM2026 --Science by day, celebration by night🔬🎨- Lab-building talks, project management insights, YI posters, and a festive gala dinner with Holi (because apparently we also peer-review each other in color 😁)
@IndiaBioscience
@IndiaBioscience Loved science engagement panel #YIM2026 on strengthening science engagement -@Jain_Lab on academic outreach, @SamirDhurde@IUCAAScipop on lab-on-cycle, Dr Shalini @IISERPune on community connection & Dr Suryesh on enabling policies✨Because science works best when it leaves lab😄
