🎉Excited to share lab's next paper @BBRCME!! Hearty congratulations @Santhosh_subs @DevuBKumar1 @poonam_thakur6 Very well deserved for all the new learning and the hard work u guys put in, truly a Christmas gift in advance!!✨️ #ending2025withabang

Congratulations to the team of Poonam Thakur for their recent publication in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications. Here, they describe the potential use of c-abl inhibitors for neuroprotection in PD. @poonam_thakur6 @Santhosh_subs @BBRCME sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A perfect way to wrap this year with our new paper in @BBRCME. 🎉🎉 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

"Doing good science requires the utmost exertion of body, mind & spirit, yet is consistently filled with failure and rejection." He talks about 3 reasons he kept going. I can relate to the 2nd one - "Watching the idea develop into new experiments/a new model". What's it for you?

Congratulations to our BSMS graduate @JUSTINP69405310 for being awarded the 'Best Undergraduate Researcher Medal' for the @Chemie_iisertvm. He will join Bowling Green State University @bgsu for his Ph.D. studies. Wishing you the very best in all your Ph.D. pursuits!!! 👏👏🫰

Congratulations to this year's Ph.D. graduate @AnusreeK, BSMS graduates @JUSTINP69405310 , @MareenaSajeev, @Nidhin_Ravi_ and MSc graduate Rintu Lalu. We wish you all the best for your future endeavours!!! 👏👏👏

@poonam_thakur6 @tvmiiser Thank you so much ma'am :)

Today @DevuBKumar1 received her BS -MS degree during 13th convocation of @tvmiiser. Best wishes for a great future.

I am very proud of @DevuBKumar1, who pursued her major project in my lab for this accolade. Best wishes for your bright future. Onwards and upwards!

@poonam_thakur6 Thank you so much ma'am for helping me grow and for believing in me :)

@bio_iisertvm @DAAD_Germany Thank you so much :D

Congratulations to Devu B. Kumar, a 5th-year BS-MS student, for winning the @DAAD_Germany scholarship to pursue the International Graduate School of Neuroscience at Ruhr University, Germany.

Grateful to @CureParkinsonsT UK for this feature on #ResearchAppreciationDay & their continued support for our preclinical research program for #Parkinsons. Their commitment to advancing fundamental research that can inform future therapeutic strategies for PD is commendable.🙏

This #ResearchAppreciationDay, we’re launching our Meet the Researcher series! In this interview, Assistant Professor Dr Poonam Thakur discusses studying repurposed drugs for Cure Parkinson’s, and why it's vital for scientists to engage with the public: buff.ly/7Yq3N34

Huge Congratulations to Professor Anantha Chandrakasan for his appointment as the Provost of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was wonderful to join the celebration organized by the Consulate General of India on Tuesday. Anantha is the first person of Indian origin to be MIT's provost. He is the perfect leader for this role. So proud! @MIT

Our work on bioelectronic treatment of #brain #cancer has recently been highlighted by @chadtough Defeat DIPG Foundation. Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (#DIPG) is a lethal pediatric brain cancer, with no existing cure. Surgery is challenging for DIPG because of the risks of injury to sensitive brain structures, in and near the brainstem. We have developed #NanoElectronic devices that can travel through body fluids, cross blood-brain-barrier and reach regions in the brain that are inaccessible through surgery. These devices also autonomously detect brain tumor regions, even microscopic sites that may not be visible through imaging. Our animal studies done with patient derived samples from hospitals shows that, where #chemotherapy has minimal effects, our customized electrical stimulation can completely halt the growth of brain cancer. Our research is supported by ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation and families who lost their children to this intractable disease. We are dedicated to work hard and advance this technology to humans. media.mit.edu/posts/prof-deb… . . . @MIT @medialab @kochinstitute @mit_nano

@poonam_thakur6 Thank you ma'am :)

Time for our next set of students to fly from the nest. We tried to do new things with computational biology, data sciences and ML, faced some setbacks but also grew & learnt together. Best wishes to all of them for a bright future. Onwards & upwards 🙌
