We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Hao Chang @Hao_UW from @UWMadison at @IGIBSocial, where he shared his fascinating work on frizzled receptors and hair patterning. Our graduate students also got to present their ongoing work and engange in enriching scientific discussions!

Our very talented Jeyashri gave her Pre-Thesis Open Colloquium today at @IGIBSocial. It was really fascinating to hear about Rnasek mediated regulation of neural crest fate specification and how her work unfolded over the years. Congratulations @Jeyashri_Rr!!

[Fate&Fault Lab @tnv_lab]

@Jeyashri_Rr from our lab will be giving her Pre-thesis open colloquium today on "Rnasek in command: directing neural crest fate specification towards melanocytic identity".

Everyone is cordially invited to attend the event at @IGIBSocial Mathura Road Campus Auditorium at 3pm.

Hot off the press: As TB continues to demand long and complex treatment regimens, @VivekRaoigib and his team at @IGIBSocial explored the potential of repurposing sertraline, an FDA-approved antidepressant, as an adjunct to standard TB therapy. The study shows that combining sertraline with frontline TB drugs significantly reduces bacterial burden and improves lung pathology,without compromising the drug pharmacokinetics.

Publication alert: A new study reports the genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. MNU76 from Indus River sediment. The strain produces multiple antimicrobials. Genome analysis revealed numerous uncharacterized biosynthetic gene clusters, highlighting the potential of strain MNU76 for discovery of novel bioactive compounds.

Warm congratulations to @beena_tweets on her new role as Director of @RGCB_Trivandrum

[CSIR-IGIB @IGIBSocial]

We aren't just fighting the bacteria; we’re decoding the human response to it. At @IGIBSocial, we turn host-pathogen interactions into blueprints for next-gen TB therapies.

Happy to see our lab alumni publishing impactful science! Congratulations Ayush for the publication! Hoping to see many more from you in upcoming years!!

[Ayush Aggarwal @AggarwalAyush_]

Ever wondered what happens at the molecular & cellular level when meningiomas invade the adjacent brain?Gene expression changes? More proliferation? Microenvironment interactions?
Excited to share my first publication as a postdoc!!

Happy International Women’s Day to all!
Sharing a cherished throwback—an author-signed copy of Breaking Through: My Life in Science by Katalin Karikó. A small, but heartfelt reminder to the girls of @IGIBSocial to enjoy doing science, stay curious, and keep believing in the joy of discovery. ✨

“The greatest scientists are artists as well.” — Einstein

This week, our young researchers proved exactly that. Swapping pipettes for paint, they turned lab themes into vibrant wall art at @IGIBSocial. Science looks even better when curiosity spills beyond the bench. 🎨🔬✨

[Fate&Fault Lab @tnv_lab]

Excited to meet the dignitaries and share some of the work from our lab!

Excited to share my PhD work, now out in @eLife! 🐟
We developed a mitfa:Cas9 knock-in zebrafish line for lineage-specific genome editing, enabling in vivo screening for gene function in melanocytes and melanoma cells. Read more here: https://t.co/bnwVAasq8E

Excited to share our new paper in @Nature, led by @PiotrekPaw_ @KristianaGrigo4 ! 🧬 We developed a new method, ALPACA, to untangle the co-evolution of single nucleotide variants and copy number changes in tumours.
