Here comes our youngest lab led by Ishwariya Venkatesh. In less than a year, they have established their systems to study nervous system development and repair, with a special focus on spinal cord. Check out their work and the tools they use: youtu.be/4te7sQQBl1g?si… CSIR, India

After seeing dozens of posters at conferences recently, it seems like many students are not being trained on how to make a good, effective poster. Like it or not posters are here to stay. Students, can you respond if you’ve been trained on how to design posters in the poll below?

Fri-yay! Lab dinner to celebrate a string of recent lab wins! open day 2nd🏆, Anisha poster win 🏅 , Yogesh Sahu optimizing AAV pipeline! @manojkumar2991 giving an invited talk after his successful PhD defense! Meghana Madhu’s killer IHC data, @LostNeurone’s HCS data

So happy that our 1st paper from CCMB is out in SfN Journals Journal of Neuroscience - shorturl.at/mhXVR. A collab b/w our lab and Murray Blackmore where we show that Injury distance is v.imp for a transcriptional response post-SCI! Postdoc manoj kumar is a shared 1st

Our recent paper was profiled in a Telugu newspaper and this is a new level unlocked because I ALWAYS wanted our science to trickle down to everyone w/o a language barrier in the way! Based on Dhruva Kumar’s translation, seems like they got it spot on 👌🏼🤩

The invitations are out for our lab retreat and the countdown is officially on! Cannot wait to get together and bond while cheering all the wins from last year and preparing for the year ahead! 🎉 🥳

Day 1 lab retreat video is here😄 Karoke 🎤, Live artist caricatures (solo,group), charades, food and of course science sprinkled in the form of an annual “SCI field talk” by me on historical papers, milestones and current trends in our field! Resting up before a big day 2!

On the last day of the retreat, the theme was “Reflections”. Crew reflected on their personal& professional growth areas from the past year and identified areas they would like to grow in the coming year. It’s amazing to see the clarity in their thinking! Year 4, we are ready 💪🏼

Ishwariya Venkatesh's lab members experimented with building their individual websites telling their personal stories of growth and their unique journeys as scientists. Read this piece to know what they discovered about themselves and learned from the process: scitales.ccmb.res.in/from-concept-t…

Sometime back, I made a case for why students need their own websites & it garnered interest! Walking the walk, I encouraged lab crew to do it. Here's an article on how that panned out (Anisha has captured the students' POV) scitales.ccmb.res.in/from-concept-t…

Excited to share our lab's preprint on work led by PhD student Anisha! CNS neurons restrict chromatin across age. Across what dev windows? How does this change following injuries? Can we achieve re-targeted reopening only around select loci? 👇👇biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨🚨Dropping our 2nd V-Lab preprint, this time on work led by Yogesh Sahu 🥳! We identify 2 novel regulators of CNS axon regeneration post spinal injuries in 🐭 and dive into the underlying Mol.mechanisms. Incredibly proud of the whole team (tagged). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
