CSIR-IGIB

Day 1 of the NIBMG–IGIB Conclave witnessed an exciting exchange of ideas, with engaging talks and discussions from researchers across BRIC–NIBMG and CSIR–IGIB. The lively interactions throughout the day reflected the shared enthusiasm of both institutes to learn from each other and explore future possibilities together. Here’s a glimpse of the scientific energy from Day 1! @DBTIndia @BricDbt @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @DrSagarSengupta @IGIBSocial #ScientificExchange #Genomics #collaboration #ResearchCommunity

A consortium of 20 research institutions across the country has come together to develop a DNA map of the nation. Read about this exciting research "The GenomeIndia Project" here: nature.com/articles/d4415… @CSIR_IND @DBTIndia @souvik_csir @IGIBSocial

After a great Day 1, the IGIB–NIBMG Conclave moves into Day 2 with an exciting talk by @arpan_parichha. Looking forward to another day of insightful discussions and cutting-edge science! @souvik_csir @CSIR_IND @FollowDbtNibmg @IGIBSocial #NIBMG #Conclave #Day2 #ScienceTalks

We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Hao Chang @Hao_UW from @UWMadison at @IGIBSocial, where he shared his fascinating work on frizzled receptors and hair patterning. Our graduate students also got to present their ongoing work and engange in enriching scientific discussions!

The NIBMG–IGIB Conclave commenced with welcome addresses by Dr. Souvik Maiti, Director @IGIBSocial and Dr. Sagar Sengupta, Director @FollowDbtNibmg setting the tone for an exciting day of scientific exchange and interaction. The conclave brings together researchers from the two Institutes, providing a valuable platform for sharing ideas, showcasing ongoing research, and discussing emerging directions in genomics and biomedical science. @DBTIndia @BricDbt @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @DrSagarSengupta @souvik_csir #bricnibmg #csirigib #ScientificExchange #Genomics #ResearchCollaboration #ScienceCommunity

Flagged off the newly augmented 20-coach #VandeBharatExpress at #Jammu Railway Station, marking a significant boost to rail connectivity in the region, along with Union Minister of Railways Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw, Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Shri @OmarAbdullah, and other dignitaries. The addition of 20 coaches reflects the growing demand for modern, high-speed rail travel and reinforces the government’s commitment to enhancing passenger capacity, comfort and infrastructure in #JammuAndKashmir.

RIP Dr Craig J Venter. It was a great honour to meet him and discuss our work on metagenomics in March 2008 @IHC, Delhi

From lab to hope. BIRSA 101, India’s first indigenous CRISPR gene therapy for sickle cell disease, is a step toward making advanced medicine truly accessible. @souvik_csir @Debojyoti_C @CSIR_IND indiatoday.in/science/story/…

Our very talented Jeyashri gave her Pre-Thesis Open Colloquium today at @IGIBSocial. It was really fascinating to hear about Rnasek mediated regulation of neural crest fate specification and how her work unfolded over the years. Congratulations @Jeyashri_Rr!!

@Jeyashri_Rr from our lab will be giving her Pre-thesis open colloquium today on "Rnasek in command: directing neural crest fate specification towards melanocytic identity". Everyone is cordially invited to attend the event at @IGIBSocial Mathura Road Campus Auditorium at 3pm.

Addressed the 'India Meteorological Department #IMD event: "India has significantly expanded its Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) network since 2014, increasing from 14 operational units to 50, marking more than 250% rise. These additions, covering over 87% of the country, improve forecasting for cyclones, heavy rain, and thunderstorms under the India Meteorological Department (IMD), with 50 more DWRs planned under Mission Mausam. Introduction of options like 'Nowcast' service provide highly localised and accurate forecasts for the next three hours. India’s weather forecasting has thus become a way of life for an average Indian citizen. Many now routinely check weather updates on their mobile phone for any possibility of rain, before stepping out of home. IMD forecasts have achieved precision upto raindrop size level. India’s forecasting capabilities are also benefiting neighbouring countries, reflecting the country’s commitment to global cooperation, in the true spirit of "Vishwabandhu" Bharat".

Inaugurated a unique Selfie Point, featuring Weather Radar, at the entrance of the India Meteorological Department #IMD headquarters at Lodhi Road, New Delhi. This initiative not only adds an element of public engagement, but also highlights the importance of weather monitoring and its awareness in our daily lives.
