Extremely grateful to be a part of fascinating research and contribute as a first author alongside my mentor @AnishaSumith , as well as @manoj290991 and @DhruvaKesireddy ! A big thanks to my supervisor @Ishwariya13 ma'am for the guidance, support and faith. Onward and upward :))
Ending 2025 with our 5th preprint for this year ๐ this time work co-lead by @netrakrish and @AnishaSumith , where we discover that nucleosome eviction around pro-growth genes underlies successful chromatin remodeling in injured neurons. For more - https://t.co/tQzxtwcRW1
Ok so something unbelievable happened. We used to get rejects on the same day ๐ but some stars โญ๏ธ have aligned in our universe and two editors sent acceptances today! So join us in counting down to another one of our papers! Hereโs to Team Epigenetics ๐๐๐๐๐ป
So we are ready with our next paper! And we are EXCITED is an understatement! Join us as we countdown to the release ๐ I could not be prouder of the team that pulled off this manuscript, they go by Team NRTF (IYKYK). ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Happy to share our paper out in @BioMedCentral BMC Bioinformatics! Lead author is @manoj290991 , he developed a ML tool for neurite measurement called DeNat which cuts down quantification time by A LOT while giving us gains in accuracy and sensitivity. Congrats to all authors ๐๐๐๐ https://t.co/GCqwWFgXgS
As the crew gear up for @IndAcadNeurosci IAN 2026, we are so happy to hear that our lab project associate + lab manager @DhruvaKesireddy has bagged the John Miller Travel Award. He will presenting cool work on Nuclesome remodeling and how that impacts axon regeneration! Congrats ๐
What a whirlwind year of learning, laughter and amazing research. Iโm so thankful to Dr Ish and the lab for this unforgettable and enriching experience :)
One more flies out the ๐ชบ@netrakrish our 1 yr PBST flies off to a PhD @uniGoettingen (Intl Max Planck Research School). She is the 1st trainee from lab to have a first authored manuscript (in revision) & is a terrific scientist! Go get em Netra!! We will always cheer for you!
Lab alum @DeeptaBeji , whoโs doing her masters in Europe swung by to say hello! Universe lined up the โญ๏ธs, same day we could get Deepta, @netrakrish and @AnishaSumith the past & present of Team Epigenetics in one frame! Continue โจDeepta, we will always cheer for you!
We made it to the 1% preprints of @qedScience !!! Only 2 from ๐ฎ๐ณ and one is @Yogeshsahu2030โs preprint! Iโve always said geographical bias exists in peer review and total blinding would give us the review we actually deserve. Now I have receipts to back it up! Curious who else made the cut?

As a birding girlie, this unlocked my first love in biology - ecology and conservation. Understanding the taxonomy of electric rays and their ecological significance really opened my eyes to these sleek creatures
While I went back home for a personal day, my mom nudged me to attend a lecture over drinks by Dr Amit Kumar, Sathyabama Institute, where he spoke on the little-known world of electric rays.
I loved the interactive session where I got to touch N. timlei :))
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 ) ๐ who doesnโt love the spotlight right? โค๏ธ
We are turning 4 in 2 wks. As tradition goes, I take the lab to a retreat to celebrate our collective wins - big & small, acknowledge contributions of all, course-correct, strategize, ๐ง storm, eat lots, laugh ๐ silly, and essentially regenerate- because it starts with us! โค๏ธ
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
