This is a really cool one!! I wish we had courses like these in our undergrad as well apart from the typical "traditional" subjects that we all have to study😔

My first first author paper from my Master's ☺. hCTR1 has never been an easy protein to work with and I am sure, my co-first author Sumanta Kar will not disagree😅. Please check out our preprint to know more about copper import and this unique copper importer, hCTR1 !!

Finally Convocated and that too with the Director's Gold Medal😄. Can't believe that I am now a Masters in Biology. Yay!

Check out my new illustration for "The Science-Art Interplay" article in the Art and Science-themed issue of @cogito137, in collaboration with The Decadents magazine! Link: scicomm.iiserkol.ac.in/pages/latest.h… #scicomm #art #science

My first paper from IISER Kolkata just got published in Journal of Biological Chemistry and that too on the #Christmas day 🥳. Best Christmas gift ever!!😁😁 doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.… Congratulations to all the authors Rupam Paul , Souravda and Saptarshi Maji

My first joint first author paper. 😊 A lot of hard work went behind this paper and I am so, so happy that finally it's out. Congratulations to all the authors and please give it a read 😁

So happy we've made it to our first off-site annual retreat since 2019! Here in Norfolk for two days of science and socialising, kicking off with a welcome from our Director, Julie Ahringer

Facts pertaining to a complaint of academic misconduct and subsequent measures taken at the institute are being misrepresented in various media. We hope this statement from the institute counters some of the misinformation. iiserpune.ac.in/announcements/…

The situation is horrific, to say the least!

A little piece on my life in Cambridge and my PhD application process out in the IISERK alumni magazine! 😀

Calcutta ❤️

Thanks a lot for the opportunity Samrat Mukhopadhyay . Looking forward to meeting you soon! 😄

Gave my first talk at IISER Mohali, courtesy of Samrat Mukhopadhyay lab symposium!

First talk in my alma mater IISER Kolkata , second talk in India 😊!

We extend our sincerest congratulations to Dr. Saptarshi Maji Saptarshi Maji on the successful defense of his doctoral thesis. He's the fourth scholar to graduate from our lab. Wishing Dr. Maji continued success in his future endeavors. IISER Kolkata #CopperMetabolism #Microscopy.

A little contribution to "Science"!😄

My confocal image of an OLED pixel got into the first page of Science!
