Excited to share our latest @PNASNews on cell-cycle stage-specific genome assembly of the meningitis-causing pathogen, brilliant work by @SatyaDev2064 in collab. w/ @ranjithpa and @DimpleNotani labs @jncasr @bose_institute @IndiaDST @ANRFIndia pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@KaustuvSanyal @PNASNews @SatyaDev2064 @ranjithpa @DimpleNotani @jncasr @bose_institute @IndiaDST @ANRFIndia Heartiest congratulations everyone.

India’s #bioeconomy has surged from $10B in 2014 to $165.7B in 2024, now contributing 4.25% to national #GDP. With a bold vision of $300B by 2030 and $2.7T by 2050, the nation is harnessing climate-resilient seeds, precision farming, agentic AI & digital twins to transform #agriculture and empower farmers. A robust #agri system isn’t just about food, it’s about sovereignty, sustainability & global leadership. Watch the full story unfold in ‘Perspective’. @makeinindia @atgcbiotech @AgriGoI @teenajha @DrManishDiwan youtu.be/-TvVwhEA7P8

🇮🇳 Happy Independence Day 2025! 🇮🇳 From the Department of Biotechnology On this historic day, echoing the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s clarion call from the Red Fort, we invite the youth of India to rise, participate, and implement the BioE3 Policy—Biotechnology for Economy, Environment, and Employment—to shape a sustainable, prosperous future for our nation. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 #HappyIndependenceDay @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @BricDbt

A research breakthrough from @jncasr! A cost-effective, metal-free organic catalyst can now produce green hydrogen fuel using just mechanical energy — no heavy metals required. @DrJitendraSingh @karandi65 @IISERPune @Maji_TK 🔗dst.gov.in/new-metal-free…

10. This work was possible with amazing colleagues & collaborators @Agg_Rashi, Jigyasa, @PodhNitesh, @mrprotein24, @GunjanM43894285, and discussions with both past and present lab members at Molecular Mycology Lab, and funding support from @DBTIndia, @serbonline, and @jncasr.

@Reza_Hashim21 @PodhNitesh @mrprotein24 @GunjanM43894285 @DBTIndia @serbonline @jncasr Heartiest congratulations to everyone! Honoured to be a part of this incredible work.

8. We show that Atg11 facilitates dynamic instability of astral microtubules (aMTs) and prevents catastrophe frequency, which is complemented by stabilized Clb4 levels with loss of Atg11.

When kids are shrunk (remember Honey I Shrunk the Kids) or cells are tiny, use the power of Expansion Microscopy. This is what @Reza_Hashim21 et al. from @KaustuvSanyal lab @jncasr did in collab. with @Dey_Gautam lab @embl. Hashim explains how U-ExM expands fungal pathogens!

Registration is open for the Chromosome Stability 2024 to be held from 13-16 December @jncasr in Bangalore w/ @tvmiiser. Excellent opportunities to present your work and interact with top scientists in the field. conference.iisertvm.ac.in/chromosome-sta…

@AswathyN3 @KaustuvSanyal @Reza_Hashim21 @Pullepu_D @SatyaDev2064 @im_kuladeep A big thank you to all the members of MML for the lovely and a warm farewell. Very grateful for being a part of the lab.

Moments of warm wishes and goodbyes at the farewell party of @Rashi57994301 .. To fond memories and new beginnings, Dr. Rashi!!

New work from our lab @jncasr in collaboration with Kevin Hardwick shows 'Shugoshin maintains mitotic arrest in response to improper kinetochore-microtubule interactions independent of the Bub1-pH2A axis' biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @SatyaDev2064

@im_kuladeep wrote this open-access Mini-Review with Prof. Hema Balaram and me - published today @ACSOmega. We discuss how D-amino acids are utilized even though they are not incorporated into ribosomally synthesized proteins pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… @jncasr @IndiaDST

Have you ever wondered about the functional importance of conserved aa residues in a protein across an evolutionary time scale? @SRaam10 et al. show in a @LSAjournal paper that longer centromeres conditionally employ more kMTs to compensate for the ill effects of mutations.
