Happy to share a new paper (Biochemistry) from the lab IISER Pune assigning PLC-type activity with specificity towards phosphatidylinositol lipids to an uncharacterised lipase CG17192 in flies during infection. Wonderful work led by Kundan Kumar, PhD. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Enzyme assignment: Kundan Kumar, PhD et al provide evidence that the uncharacterized CG17192 has phospholipase C-type activity, acting on phosphatidylinositol to impact signaling pathways in the fruit fly gut. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Siddhesh Kamat IISER Pune #drosophila #lipase

It’s been a platinum journey (after a golden one NVS). Grateful for all I’ve learned in science and beyond. Heartfelt thanks to my amazing mentors Girish Ratnaparkhi and Siddhesh Kamat for their unwavering support, and to everyone who contributed to this PhD milestone!!! IISER Pune.

Do check out a new preprint from the lab IISER Pune on the bioinformatics analysis and biochemical characterization of ABHD12. Nice work spearheaded by Arnab Chakraborty & Archit Devarajan, with help from Kundan Kumar, PhD & Rohith. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New paper out in Vaccine: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Brilliantly led by Bhagyashree Deshmukh, with Dhruv Khatri, Athale Lab: CyCelS šŸ’‰šŸ’‰šŸ’‰šŸ’‰šŸš²šŸ¤æā›µ & Prof. SK Kochar. Big takeaway: A single protein vaccine (Rh5/AMA/MSP) may not work due to redundancy & antigenic variation. A tough conclusion, but data says so!

It is great to work in collaboration and understand fly and mammalian biology simultaneously. I must thank both my supervisor Siddhesh Kamat and RatnaparkhiLab for this opportunity.

Lipids studied by Infosys Prize winner Siddhesh Kamat are essential for energy storage and cell signaling. Can you name a disease linked to lipid imbalance? While you're at it, here's our profile on Prof. Kamat, sharing his work and his achievements. Siddhesh Kamat
