Aspiring biomedical scientist || Research trainee @ Lab of Axon Growth and Regeneration CSIR-CCMB || Getting back into 📚

[Netra Krishna @netrakrish]

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 🎉 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

the trick is to play music louder than your thoughts.

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

[Netra Krishna @netrakrish]

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 ) 😁 who doesn’t love the spotlight right? ❤️

[Ishwariya Venkatesh @Ishwariya13]

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, 🧠 storm, eat lots, laugh 😆 silly, and essentially regenerate- because it starts with us! ❤️

[Ishwariya Venkatesh @Ishwariya13]

And we are offffffff #IVLabretreat2026 😀 see you on the other side!

working. cleaning. walking. singing. accessorizing. fat pigeon.

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

peaceful weekends in OU, one happy meal

[Netra Krishna @netrakrish]

what a priviliege - to do work, to be tired from it, and to wake up and do it all again

i was made for in der sonne sitzen und spaghetti eis essen und keine sorgen haben müssen

[Netra Krishna @netrakrish]

Started a new project, continued old ones, had a good day, and nacharam feels like home these days.

6 ways to have a good weekend:

1. Drink coffee.
2. Avoid people.
3. Read books. Go for a walk.
4. Drink more coffee.
5. Keep avoiding people.
6. Read more books. Go for a walk.

Once I read this thing where a woman said that she will not read any books on productivity, time management, habits or how to live the best life if they're written by men because they were able to manage that time or build those life changing habits because they HAD A WIFE. Instead, this person said they would only read female-authored books on that subject--moms or wives that did the laundry, worked, and still got stuff done. I think about that a lot.

Sidequested into Kafka (finally). Currently in the middle of Valli by Sheela Tomy and Verwandlung (english version). So different yet captivating.

[Ishwariya Venkatesh @Ishwariya13]

Every PhD is dotted with milestones, one such here @ccmb_csir is open doctoral committee talks! Today my first student @Yogeshsahu2030 , dedication and hard work personified, presented his work and I couldn’t be prouder 🥳🥳🥳🥳 onwards and upwards yogesh!

[Ishwariya Venkatesh @Ishwariya13]

We are looking for 2 Dissertees (Start date July 2026- July 2027) and 1 Project-based trainee (1 yr) for exciting projects at the intersection of Stem cell therapy, Gene therapy, and Epigenetics! We will not accept 6-month trainees whatsoever, so pls don't email!

[Netra Krishna @netrakrish]

Slightly easier days, slower mornings and trickling back to reading. This week's reads - Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa, and Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom gifted to me by my mentor @Ishwariya13 :)

One fiction and other non-fiction, yet so touching!

[Ishwariya Venkatesh @Ishwariya13]

Biggest lesson I’ll tell my younger scientist self? Take more breaks. It’s easier to pull yourself self from an *almost* burnout than a full one. That blot can wait, those stack of to-read papers will still be there after your break, a refreshed you is >>>>>>>> all else.

[Netra Krishna @netrakrish]

Happy International Women in Science Day!
Extremely privileged to contribute and do good science under the mentorship of @AnishaSumith and supervision of @Ishwariya13

[Ishwariya Venkatesh @Ishwariya13]

Although one day is never enough, happy to spotlight the wonderful, feisty, driven and extraordinary women in my lab! @netrakrish @Shringika @Rutuja_P13 @AarthiSukumar27 @AnishaSumith and @praveenaK94 ! Each a Force to reckon with, read on their projects below 👇🏼
