Our most recent publication focuses on a cohort of Wilson Disease patients https://t.co/INknJW5TXB
I want to start by extending my deepest thanks to all the clinical collaborators, patients, and colleagues.

We organized a 30-day advanced training course in “Genomics and Molecular Technologies” for industrial applications from 01st to 30th November 2023 under CSIR integrated skill initiative activities.

The course structure included an end-to-end whole genome sequencing (WGS) workflow inclusive of DNA library preparation to bioinformatics pipelines for delivering high-quality insights on the industrial application of WGS technology.

The interesting neurologist is @OliverSacks and the metal is Tungsten.
Did you know that many #IGIB #scientists were trained in #Chemistry. @souvik_csir, @mundel69 and Pradeep Kumar continue to explore #chemicalbiology and #nanobiotechnology, researching at the Chemistry Biology interface.
Talking of #metals, at #IGIB, @bk_binukumar studies Wilson’s disease which is caused by the aberrant accumulation of Copper in cells.

One of the recent endeavours have been to use genomics diagnose patients with treatable #intellectualdisabilities . The programme on #WilsonDisease by @bk_binukumar Lab @CSIR_IND @IGIBSocial is one such focussed initiative . Know more https://t.co/QFCLVioPLV
