For the post lunch session, we had 3 outstanding talks. Mahak Sharma spoke on a very cool host-pathogen interaction study from her lab, Indranil Banerjee spoke about endosomal sorting during viral infections & BENU BRATA DAS (BBD Lab) spoke about novel mechanisms during DNA damage !

Our recent work in NAR shows a 20-mer peptide can augment DNA damage response by acting as ATM agonist, potentially preventing neoplastic transformation. Great work done by Ritu Agrawal, collaboration with Avinash Bajaj BRIC - National Institute of Biomedical Genomics Department of Biotechnology BRIC-NII 10.1093/nar/gkaf106
