Research Highlight from IISER Bhopal! We are delighted to announce a significant breakthrough from the Metabiosys Lab led by Prof. Vineet K. Sharma at IISER Bhopal, published in Nucleic Acids Research Genomics and Bioinformatics (2025). Title: XenoBug: machine learning-based tool to predict pollutant-degrading enzymes from environmental metagenomes XenoBug is a cutting-edge AI-driven platform that enables accurate prediction of potentially novel pollutant-degrading enzymes from environmental bacteria. This powerful tool opens new avenues in bioremediation and environmental cleanup through the application of machine learning. A significant step toward accelerating environmental sustainability and microbial biotechnology using AI! Read the full article: [doi.org/10.1093/nargab…] Congratulations to Prof. Sharma and his research team! @iiserbhopal @dasgobardhan @EduMinOfIndia @IndiaDST @DBTIndia @serbonline @vks_mBioSys

@imcjena16 @GeneticsGSA @NMatange @DeolankarSoham Congratulations!!!

Pleasure to share an article in @GeneticsGSA from the lab of @NMatange, along with @DeolankarSoham. We show bacterial adaptation to spectinomycin, without a change in drug MIC, and that the mechanism could be associated with pH homeostasis across the IM. doi.org/10.1093/geneti…

#Admission into the #BSMS dual degree programme of IISER Pune is through the #IISERAptitudeTest, which is conducted jointly across all IISERs. For details on eligibility, application, etc, please visit iiseradmission.in

@Krishanpal_K Congratulations!!

Truly honoured to be selected as an EMBO Global Investigator. Grateful for this recognition and the opportunity to engage with an inspiring community. A big thank you to my current and former lab members, collaborators, funders, and well-wishers. Here is to the journey ahead!!

@NMatange @Biochem_Journal Congratulations!!🎊

Latest paper from my lab now published @Biochem_Journal. This work was initiated by a remarkable young scientist Avani Joshi during her masters dissertation and subsequently seen to completion by her during a 1.5 year stint as a JRF in my lab. portlandpress.com/biochemj/artic…

It is not surprising that business houses do not like to fund research in India. That is because the return is poor, and will remain so till we fill the gaps from research to manufacturing. We are not good 'business case'. nature.com/articles/d4158…

#OpenPhDposition Application deadline 31st May. apply.ashoka.edu.in/home.aspx We welcome motivated candidates interested in bacterial evolution, mistranslation, AMR or doing something totally new with one year's worth of environmental DNA! Email me to see if we are a good fit.

Just. Share. Your. Plasmids. Enough with the MTAs. It's the age of synthesis. The material doesn't matter and all you are really doing is saving your peers time and money. The thing, once constructed, is an infinitely renewable resource. Just share it. Don't be weird.
