Elated to finally share my PhD work 🤩 uncovering the shades of grey in the black & white lives of melanocytes. Huge thanks to everyone involved @PigmentCellBio Rajesh Gokhale Mohit Kumar Jolly CSIR-IGIB biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A🧵to explain the findings briefly. 1/n

6 years of hardwork, determination and perseverance all compressed into a 200 page document. My PhD thesis came to life on the same day I came to life. Finally submitted my thesis. Best b'day gift from me to myself 😁 Now actively looking for postdoc in Bay area, California 😜

Applications are NOW OPEN for the Stanford Postdoctoral Recruitment Initiative in Sciences and Medicine (PRISM)! All graduate students, and especially those from backgrounds underrepresented within academia, are encouraged to apply. postdocs.stanford.edu/PRISM

Our paper, “Plasmodium falciparum infection of human erythroblasts induces transcriptional changes associated with dyserythropoiesis” is out now! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to present at #MPM2023 again! See my virtual poster #365 today if you are curious to know what happened to these Toxoplasma parasites (bottom panel). Plasmotox

Manasi has an interesting poster at #MPM2023 about nuclear transport in Toxoplasma gondii and potential therapeutics based on the pathway. If only the wait for a US visa had been shorter than 2 years, she would be presenting in person...

I was so thrilled to meet Narayan Rangaraj today. Thanks for stopping by at the Stanford campus on your way to Berkeley! Have a great rest of the US trip 🇺🇲

Let's move on... my lab is AGAIN looking for postdocs! Cell culture experience required; we will teach you how to culture parasites. Routine molecular and cell biology techniques also required. Most essential: a desire to be in our fun team and have a productive tenure in the lab

The Molecular Parasitology lab is looking to bring new PhD students on board in the coming academic year. The announcement will be made in a few months by the BSBE dept, for the central admission process that happens in May. Interested students, please keep an eye out for this!

Thanks iWISH Talks for hosting this! It was great to hear Dr. Doudna Lab shared all the insights! The room was so crowded, I opted for the Zoom. Much appreciated the availability of the virtual option!

Delighted to share that the first Aggarwal et al publication is now online PLOS Biology. Huge thanks to all who contributed and made it possible @PigmentCellBio Babita Sharma Keerthic Aswin Mohit Kumar Jolly Rajesh Gokhale CSIR-IGIB journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

We show that specified melanocytes exhibit different cell states within their population that potentially aid their response to external cues such as UV. Hop onto this thread for a deep dive. x.com/AggarwalAyush_…

Nancy, our summer undergraduate student gave an outstanding presentation at the Stanford Maternal & Child Health Research Inst. DRIVE poster symposium today! 🙌👏

🗨️ WANNA TALK TO YOUR CELLS? Try out CellWhisperer – our new multimodal AI that turns single-cell RNA-seq analysis into a conversation. No coding needed, just chat in plain English. Short walkthrough below. Web app & bioRxiv preprint linked in the thread. Let's dive in! (1/9)

See you in 80000 years!!!! ☄️

Happy Halloween 🎃

Congrats to Daniel Navarrete Daniel José Navarrete for receiving the Hematology Inclusion Pathway (HIP) Abstract Achievement Award! Check out his poster #2456 tomorrow night #ASH2024 ASH

Great catching up with Sujata Walunj and Chhaminder Kaur in San Francisco who are doing super well in their postdoctoral research. Lovely to see Biosciences & Bioengineering, IIT Bombay alumni moving ahead in their careers.

It was lovely catching up with you as well, Swati!

My lab is looking out for new postdocs. Email me if interested!
