After 25 years of brave & brilliant work by hundreds of scientists in my lab to understand then safely reverse aging for the first time, it was moving to witness the first human dose being delivered 🥹 https://t.co/veQsyUEORz

MLab proud moment.
Our 2b start-up Organomic was selected as top 136 deep-tech start-ups from 3000+ applicants at #BharatInnovates national demo. Credit to Devashree, Saumya, Aditi, Sourav & team.

@iruletheworldmo Would be crazy if we can use this as caption template for videos.

No Nobel for me this year 😅—Medicine, Life Science, Chemistry, Literature or Peace all missed!

But thrilled that 3 from our lab joined SAAE meet @ccmb_csir & all 3 bagged awards!
Congrats @JDevashree10 @vichare_aditi @jsaumya5 🎉👏🏼💐
Super proud mentor moment.

@Swiggy This is the last time I am ordering. Ordered 350gm size, got 250gm. Not once, but twice in a row. Got refund on 1st but nothing today. Garbage support from Swiggy. POS!
NB: I have Swiggy One.
Outlet: Nothing but Chicken, Powai.
Eager to see what action u take next.

[International Cell Senescence Association @ICSA_senescence]

#ICSAPaperOfTheMonth Breast cancer cells resist chemotherapy by entering a transient senescent state and evading immune detection. Instead of dying, they persist and can later escape senescence to drive relapse. Disrupting this cycle could lead to new treatment strategies.

A new study from researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, led by Prof. Abhijit Majumder, uncovers how strain fields produced by embedded inhomogeneities within biomaterials influence cell alignment, reshaping our understanding of cell behaviour in development, disease and tissue engineering.

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀
Our latest research, "Inhomogeneous Substrate Strain-Driven Long-Range Cellular Patterning," is out now in Cell Reports Physical Science!

[Sanjay Kumar Kureel, PhD @skkureel113]

Seeking a lab position with H1B sponsorship-to start immediately.
My paper, ‘Rejuvenation of Senescent Cells, In Vitro and In Vivo, by Low Frequency Ultrasound,’ just accepted in Aging Cell. Expertise in aging, senescence, cancer, rejuvenation & mechanobiology. DMs open! #H1B

[Abhijit Majumder @abhijit_MLab]

All of us, who work in the area of MechanoBio learnt the subject by reading Prof. Mike Sheet’s papers. He visited our lab, met students, n eventually offered 1 PostDoc & 2 PhD positions. There is probably no one working in this field who is NR touched by Mike.
RIP. U’ll b missed.

In “Techconnect”, the annual outreach program of IITB, MLab members are enjoying their time in our lab stall explaining microfluidics to the visitors across age groups.

Ever wondered how Mumbai would look under snow? Here you are. Thanks to AI :)

[Abhijit Majumder @abhijit_MLab]

Had an amazing time with 36 participants from 15 different Asian Univs in a Hands on Workshop for Organ on Chip models. The participants were really happy at the end. Kudos to the TAs (members frm our lab & Prof Sandip Kar’s lab) who did all the Hardwork.

Nobel Prize is NOT about h-index or citations.
It is about the emergence of big new fields.

So many posts discuss Nobel awardees.
And so many misunderstand the Nobel Prize.

📍 A bit of clarification from my side:

1⃣ Nobel Prize is NOT about how useful your work is.

It’s about how useful it WILL BE.
Science is not about real-world impact.
It is about new knowledge, new understanding.
It’s about nucleating new ways of thinking.

Applications can come decades after the discovery.

2⃣ Nobel Prize is NOT about just doing risky research.

Many of us take on risky projects. But most stay as niche studies that could have been done by others.

It’s about doing what others are AFRAID to do.
It's about looking like a reckless scientist.
It’s about succeeding where others have failed (despite numerous attempts).

3⃣ Nobel Prize is NOT about a small study.

It’s about nucleating a BIG research direction.
It’s about "OMG, I didn't know it's even possible!"

Yes, sometimes it takes decades to recognize a scientist. But in many cases, the prize was given to those who published the "nucleating studies" and pushed hard to grow the new field.

4⃣ Nobel Prize NOT about a lot of citations.

Metrics doesn't matter.
Forget this "Stanford top-2% ranking".
Your peers' opinion is what really matters.

Are you recognized by your peers SO MUCH that they want to see you as a Nobel Laureate?

Do they see you as someone who created their field and made their research possible?

Do they see you as their thought leader?

▫️

My HUGE congratulations to all Laureates.

AI has changed science a lot.

Those who made it possible deserve this recognition.

@DeepakNModi @top2p_sci Many congratulations 🥳🪅

Looking for a motivated non-NET Master’s graduate willing to work on a fully funded project by @DBTIndia at @FollowDbtNibmg . Prior experience in molecular biology techniques like qPCR, cell culture, FACS and knowledge of Epigenetics is a bonus. Interested may Repost or DM.

Astonishing breakthrough in #organoid engineering, as reported in @Nature by T Recaldin,M Harter,L Steinacher,B Gjeta, and colleagues: intestinal epithelial organoids incorporating tissue-resident immune cells. @IHB_Research @Roche https://t.co/kALIiabRFK
