#CBRday On 12 August 2026, CBR marked its 12th year since its inception. The day began with a rewind of the past year by our Director, Prof. K.V.S. Hari (@iisckvshari), who looked back at the progress made over the past year and highlighted the ongoing initiatives at CBR. Dr. Kris Gopalakrishnan (@kris_sg) congratulated CBR on the milestone and encouraged the team to approach the year ahead with renewed focus and vigour. His message was simple yet powerful: aim high, for even the journey towards an ambitious goal can bring learnings and new possibilities. The scientific programme featured a special lecture by Prof. Sreeganga Chandra (@SChandraLab) at Yale School of Medicine (@YaleMed) on GBA-linked Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Her research uses mouse models to explore the role of mutant GBA in cognitive decline, offering insights that could inform new therapeutic approaches. As part of the TANUH-CBR IndiNeuroFM initiative, Prof. Phaneendra Yalavarthy introduced an automated CT Report Verification Framework, which will be hosted as a Digital Public Infrastructure. The day also included a recognition of long-serving members of the CBR team, acknowledging their commitment and contributions. Twelve years gives us enough perspective to look back at what has been built, while also reminding us of the exciting possibilities ahead. @TANUH_AI | @iiscbangalore | @Yale
