Arun K. Shukla

This is for you @IITKanpur! As I always say, if I had to do it all over again, I would choose @IITKanpur in a heartbeat! All credit to the amazing students and fellows in our laboratory! They are the real Superstars! #Win#For#Science

I have now co-authored papers with four different Nobel laureates😎. First as a PhD student, then as a post-doctoral fellow, and most recently, as a collaborator! All credit to these👇superstars in our lab @IITKanpur for making the latest one possible! I am so proud of you all!

Absolutely stunning work: de novo designed miniproteins targeting GPCRs as potent agonists and antagonists. This opens countless possibilities for programmable signaling, cleaner therapeutics, and faster drug discovery. Protein design is coming for pharmacology. 🚀

Congratulations to all involved including our very own Sudha Mishra, Annu Dalal, Shachie Sinha, Manisankar Ganguly, and Ramanuj Banerjee! It is currently posted online as an accelerated article preview! Stay tuned for a more elaborate thread when the final version is published.

Delighted to share this amazing collaborative study involving our laboratory @IITKanpur now published in @Nature! This was spearheaded by David Baker's lab @UWproteindesign with contributions from several labs across the globe! Link: nature.com/articles/s4158…

#That's IITK! #IITK#Rocks! @IITKanpur Of course, the list also includes @kvijayraghavan himself🙏😎.

What a proud moment @IITKanpur !!!

Today our group members picked up the paint brush instead of pipettes to show their creativity and talent at the departmental painting competition🖌️! I am so incredibly proud to be the mentor of such amazing students and fellows😎!! You all are rock stars👩‍🔬👨‍🔬!!! #Science#Is#Fun

We are delighted to congratulate Infosys Prize 2023 laureate Prof. Arun Kumar Shukla on receiving two prestigious honors this year: the Om Prakash Bhasin Award in Biological Sciences and the International Award by the Biochemical Society. The International Award marks a significant milestone, as this is the first time the honor has been awarded to a scientist working in India. Heartfelt congratulations to Prof. Shukla on this well-deserved recognition and for continuing to advance scientific research from India to the global stage. @arshukla @BiochemSoc @IITKanpur #scientificresearch #lifesciences #STEM #arunkumarshukla #biochemicalsociety #indiaresearch #IITKanpur #infosysprize Know more about Prof. Shukla’s research: infosysprize.org/laureates/2023…

Hello, Molecular Cell 😎!

I enjoy communicating our science in Hindi although some things get lost in translation. Still, I hope that some kid somewhere reads this piece published in Dainik Jagran (a Hindi newspaper) today, and says to their parents - I also want to become a researcher! #Win#For#Science

So nice of @ParishmitaSarm2, a recently graduated superstar PhD student from our lab, to visit us today @IITKanpur! She is currently a post-doctoral fellow at @JohnsHopkins, where she is doing some very cool stuff on olfactory receptors. Thanks a lot, Pari 💐!

Nominations for The Brain Prize, the world’s largest prize for neuroscience now open! Candidates working in any country and any field of neuroscience are eligible. Nominations close September 1st 2026. For more information visit: brainprize.org/nomination-sel… #BrainPrize #Neuroscience

I have joined the editorial board of the Journal of Neuroscience @SfNJournals as a reviewing editor. I will mostly be handling manuscripts related to sensory systems and invertebrate models. Excited to be a part of the legendary #JNeurosci jneurosci.org/content/editor…
