@AggarwalAyush_ Congratulations Ayush👏🏻

Ever wondered what happens at the molecular & cellular level when meningiomas invade the adjacent brain?Gene expression changes? More proliferation? Microenvironment interactions? Excited to share my first publication as a postdoc!! academic.oup.com/neuro-oncology…

Announcing the 6th Indian Zebrafish Investigators' Meeting #iZIM at @IGIBSocial , Delhi! #zebrafish Block your calendars and sign up for updates. Spread the word by reposting!

Big thanks to my supervisor, @tnvivek , for the constant support and guidance! Shoutout to our awesome collaborators for making this study possible! @Gops_GlycoIndia @shruthy_suresh Dr. Rajesh Pandey, Dr. Shantanu Gupta

Sugars matter- not just in cancer but in development too. Excited to share my PhD work is published! We identify MGAT4B as a key regulator of melanocyte migration during early development & later during melanoma initiation via selective N-glycan branching. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@IGIBSocial @PNASNews Congratulations to all authors @BABITAS51701178 @keerthic_aswin @AggarwalAyush_ @ayeshanasreen11 @Jeyashri_Rr and many others Heartfelt thanks to our collaborators @Gops_GlycoIndia @shruthy_suresh @RajeshPandeyLab

@DAyyappaRaja1 @NIDCR_NIH @BronnerMarianne Congratulations Appy☺️☺️

I am delighted to share that I have been awarded NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from @NIDCR_NIH to study the Gene Regulatory Networks underlying meningeal development and tumorigenesis. Huge thanks to my mentor @BronnerMarianne for her immense support and motivation.

@rohit16gupta23 @PigmentCellBio @IGIBSocial Thank you rohit

@PigmentCellBio @BABITAS51701178 @IGIBSocial Congratulations @BABITAS51701178

🚨!!PhD Done Alert!!🚨 Our talented lab member @BABITAS51701178 successfully defended her PhD thesis and viva today at @IGIBSocial Mathura Road, passing with flying colors 🌈 Congratulations Dr. Babita Sharma and wishing you all the very best for future endeavors!

@Chet_Mishra @PigmentCellBio @IGIBSocial Thanks Chetan☺️

@PigmentCellBio @BABITAS51701178 @IGIBSocial Congratulations Dr. Babita 💐

@DAyyappaRaja1 @PigmentCellBio @IGIBSocial Thank you Appy☺️

@PigmentCellBio @BABITAS51701178 @IGIBSocial Congratulations Dr Babita 🎉

@shruthy_suresh @PigmentCellBio @IGIBSocial Thank you ma'am☺️, Truly my pleasure to contribute in any way to your amazing lab!"

@PigmentCellBio @BABITAS51701178 @IGIBSocial Congrats Babita! All the best for the postdoc. We’ll miss having you around. Thanks for all the help during our lab setup phase.

"A picture is worth a thousand memories" -probably Shakespeare (don't quote us) We had an awesome day last week posing for snapshots with our lab members in the beautiful campus of @IGIBSocial!! Wishing for more such fun, frohlich days ahead!!

I had the privilege of attending an excellent conference IZIM 2024, inspiring keynote speakers and scientific discussions. It was an honor to present my PhD work in front of such talented leaders in the field.

How to deal with the menace of desk rejection? even in society journals. Not attributing any ethnicity, geography, gender, cultural, ethical, and subconscious bias! One would rather get critiqued by knowledgeable reviewers, than the all knowing EIC? aint it?#breakthegatekeeping

Kindly retweet! We would love the critical evaluation of our study to make it even stronger and more impactful. Your feedback is greatly appreciated! #Melanoma #zebrafish @MelanomaReAlli @SocietyMelanoma @GlycansC #glycotime 3/3

Excited to have my PhD project finally coming together! Big thanks to my supervisor, @tnvivek , for the constant support and guidance! Shoutout to our awesome collaborators for making this study possible! @Gops_GlycoIndia @shruthy_suresh Dr. Rajesh Pandey, Dr. Shantanu Gupta 2/3

Our study identifies Mgat4b, a N-glycosyltransferase enriched in pigment progenitors, as a regulator of directional melanocyte migration & establishment of McSC pool during early dev & show that Mgat4b mut cells fail to initiate melanoma in zebrafish doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… (1/3)

New publication alert! In this study we show that specified melanocytes exhibit distinct cell states within them that gets manifested upon response to external cues such as UV. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

#UVradiation triggers a #pigmentation response in our skin. @AggarwalAyush_ @PigmentCellBio &co identify distinct #melanocyte sub-pops with maturation & proliferation programs initiated by stochastic gene expression in response to cues like UV #PLOSBiology plos.io/4fNb3rz

Go T cells! Now Online! I am happy to share this study, where we report the SARS-CoV-2 sp. T cell response post-omicron surge. (1/n) @awa_amit @THSTIFaridabad @DBTIndia @IndiaBioscience doi.org/10.1002/jmv.29…
