#ScienceSnippets Explore the science behind oral health! Our Laboratory of Structure Microbiology at the RCB (@unescorcb) team explains how pathogenic bacteria attach to teeth, forming biofilms like dental plaque. Understanding these protein structures is key to fighting antimicrobial resistance and preventing serious conditions like endocarditis. #OralHealth #Biofilm #HealthTech @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @BricDbt @NABI_India @bric_ils @NIPGRsocial @NImmunology @HydNiab @BRIC_CDFD @DBT_NCCS_Pune @ICGEB @DBT_inStem @DBT_NBRC @RGCB_Trivandrum @THSTIFaridabad @ICGEBNewDelhi @unescorcb @BIRAC_2012 @IndiaDST @moesgoi @CSIR_IND @CSIR_NIScPR @ICMRDELHI






How do bacteria protect themselves and cause infection? Take a tour of the Transcription Regulation Lab (TRL) and see their model of biofilm formation! Biofilms act as a shield for bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, making them incredibly tough to treat. The team uses advanced structural biology tools to "see" the proteins behind these processes, paving the way for new drugs and treatments. Watch the full #ScienceSnippet to see the lab in action! #ScienceSnippets #LifeScience #LabLife #Biofilms #Microbiology #DBT #IndiaScience #ResearchImpact @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @BricDbt @NABI_India @bric_ils @NIPGRsocial @NImmunology @HydNiab @BRIC_CDFD @DBT_NCCS_Pune @ICGEB @DBT_inStem @DBT_NBRC @RGCB_Trivandrum @THSTIFaridabad @ICGEBNewDelhi @unescorcb @BIRAC_2012 @ICMRDELHI @MoHFW_INDIA @MinistryWCD @IndiaDST @moesgoi @ICMRDELHI @PrinSciAdvOff









#WomenInSTEM @DBTIndia Championing Women-Led Science for a Viksit Bharat. Professor Deepti Jain, @unescorcb , Faridabad, is advancing research on transcriptional regulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a priority pathogen responsible for hard-to-treat infections driven by antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation. Her work has uncovered key molecular mechanisms regulating flagella formation, biofilm development, and bacterial virulence, enabling new avenues for structure-based drug discovery and antimicrobial development. Through DBT and SERB-supported projects, her research has identified small-molecule inhibitors and novel targets to combat antibiotic resistance, strengthening efforts to address critical infectious diseases. #AntimicrobialResistance #BiofilmResearch #ViksitBharat @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @BricDbt @NABI_India @bric_ils @NIPGRsocial @NImmunology @HydNiab @BRIC_CDFD @DBT_NCCS_Pune @ICGEB @DBT_inStem @DBT_NBRC @RGCB_Trivandrum @THSTIFaridabad @ICGEBNewDelhi @unescorcb @BIRAC_2012 @ICMRDELHI @MoHFW_INDIA @MinistryWCD @IndiaDST @moesgoi @ICMRDELHI @PrinSciAdvOff

#WomenInSTEM @DBTIndia Championing Women-Led Science for a Viksit Bharat. Dr. Divya Chandran, Plant Biologist, Regional Centre for Biotechnology (@unescorcb), is advancing research on plant immunity to protect India’s pulse crops from devastating fungal diseases such as powdery mildew. Her research revealed that plant immunity is a dynamic, cell-wide response involving nuclear behavior, metabolism, and RNA signaling. Her discoveries on nuclear repositioning, SUN-domain proteins, and defense metabolites provide new pathways to build climate-resilient crops. Dr. Chandran’s work also pioneers nanocarrier-mediated RNA interference to silence fungal virulence genes—offering eco-friendly crop protection strategies that reduce chemical dependence while strengthening India’s food and nutritional security. #PlantScience #FoodSecurity #ViksitBharat @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @BricDbt @NABI_India @bric_ils @NIPGRsocial @NImmunology @HydNiab @BRIC_CDFD @DBT_NCCS_Pune @ICGEB @DBT_inStem @DBT_NBRC @RGCB_Trivandrum @THSTIFaridabad @ICGEBNewDelhi @unescorcb @DBT_IBSD
