Researchers at IIT Madras have developed ε-µD, a low-cost, chip-based microfluidic device that can rapidly test whether bacteria are resistant or susceptible to antibiotics, delivering results in just 3 hours compared to the conventional 48–72 hours. The research team - Prof. S.

Researchers at IIT Madras and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have discovered how interactions between genetic variants act as “switches” that unlock hidden metabolic pathways. Published in Nature Communications, the study shows how two yeast variants, when

📷 Seminar Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CSIC) of Prof. Himanshu Sinha Himanshu Sinha of the IIT Madras a pioneer of applying ML & AI for tackling gene-to-function prediction. In a further screw turn, using yeast as model he will discuss today how genetic variants collectively influence complex traits

How do you handle disappointments, the one companion in research none of us can escape? Over time, I have come to realize that how people respond to failure matters far more than the failure itself. The heuristics I rely on to navigate disappointments. 👇medium.com/@ishwariyavenk…

The second edition of CeRAI Conversations — a quarterly webinar series by Centre for Responsible AI, IIT Madras — featured an insightful session led by Prof. Karthik Raman and Prof. Himanshu Sinha, followed by Dr. Sowmya S Sundaram and Mr. Manu Dev. This time, the conversation was on RAI in healthcare.

Some archaea—an ancient group of microorganisms—have an entirely novel genetic code, according to a new study in Science. Their genetic code reassigns a DNA “stop” signal to incorporate the rare amino acid pyrrolysine into their proteins. The findings expand our understanding

Interpreting an #ECG can seem overwhelming at first, but with a structured approach, it becomes far more manageable. In this thread, I’ll walk you through how to analyze an ECG like a professional, step by step. Let’s begin.🧵
