Hope it saves someone a headache 🐭
Great to the see the flurry of single gene knockdown Perturb-seq like atlases from cell-lines, mouse brain etc over the last few days. These are undoubtedly very valuable datasets. I just want to re-iterate a few other very important expt. design considerations 1/
This semester saw Prof. Nishikant Subhedar teach his course one last time at IISER, Pune. An extraordinary teacher his course have stayed popular across generations of students. We had to raise a 🥂 to celebrate this exceptional career and person. Cheers to the next innings Sir!

#InfosysPrize2024 in Life Sciences is awarded to Prof. Siddhesh Kamat, @KamatLab_IISER, of @IISERPune for his discoveries concerning bioactive lipids and their receptors, and their metabolic and signaling pathways. His research using advanced methods to understand the function of lipids, a key component of cells, has important implications for understanding the role of these molecules in a range of cellular functions and human diseases.
Really happy to be convenor of a symposium on ‘Neurocircuits governing behavior’ with Aurnab Ghose, Abhilasha Joshi and Supratim Ray at the #IASAnnualMeeting - kickstarting with Aurnab telling us about glucose interoception and regulation of feeding behavior in zebrafish
Groundbreaking research shows how psilocybin reshapes brain networks, offering rapid and sustained relief from depression 🧠
This study analyzed psilocybin vs. traditional antidepressants in two clinical trials with promising results.
Let’s dive in 🧵
