A day that’ll be etched in my 🧠 for a long time ! Arupam Biswas , our lab alum landed a PhD position in Universität Mainz Germany& flew in to sign his offer letter in front of us, as an ode to the place his ❤️ for science was born and nurtured! Congrats Arupam, we will always cheer for u!


This right here is what we live to see.A new gene treatment from the lab that causes axons (green) to grow through a sharp injury (the cut)& an inhibitory scar (red)! The joy is 100x more when your student Yogesh Sahu discovers vs yourself 😁 Do read! shorturl.bz/t6s


We had a lab movie screening today of Picture a Scientist Gender bias is rampant in STEM but depending on who you talk to some will say it’s no longer a problem 🤷🏻♀️ I say drop what you’re doing & watch this if you’re in Science in any way/form/level. BECOME AWARE. It starts there.



And the cycle continues! We present the new 1- year trainees joining our crew! Netra Krishna is returning post graduation from KREA as a PBST( post her summer training with us last summer)! Athul Narayan PS joins us for his dissertation from VIT-Vellore! May the cool science begin 🥳


Gotta say, Anusandhan National Research Foundation feels God-sent in terms of how they're handling proposals. Clear Guidelines, Dedicated helpline (wow) and (so-far) seamless web-portal. If the post-award procedures are this smooth, then salute🫡

📢 Important Update | Deadline Extended… For convenience of our research fraternity, Call for Proposals under ANRF’s Advanced Research Grant (ARG) has been extended till July 15, 2025. Please submit your proposals before the deadline !! Shivkumar Kalyanaraman Dr. Dipti Kakkar Thukral DSTIndia

For those applying to the recent Anusandhan National Research Foundation call, keep in mind it’s *mandatory* for PIs from National labs to have a Co-PI from an academic institution. Welcome move IMO, ❌ echo chamber collabs, forge new collabs which will ALSO strengthen academic research ecosystem. ✅✅


💡Anusandhan National Research Foundation Shivkumar Kalyanaraman Pairing National Lab researchers with academic PIs for ARG is spot-on! A keyword-tagged PI database within the ANRF website would turbo-charge matching and help those without connections or PIs who are uncomfortable with cold emails to potential Co-PIs.
