Glimpses from the Wilson Disease Genomic Forum 2026 at @IGIBSocial Experts and participants came together for a conference and an intensive hands-on workshop on Exome Analysis & Genomic Data Analytics (11–13 March 2026). @bk_binukumar @souvik_csir @CSIR_IND

We look forward to bringing clinicians and researchers together to advance genomic insights in Wilson disease through this conference and workshop.

Delighted to share our latest work published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hepatology: First Indian Case of Wilson’s Disease with a Chinese-Specific ATP7B Variant: Clinical and Genetic Insights 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.jceh…

Our most recent publication focuses on a cohort of Wilson Disease patients …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md… I want to start by extending my deepest thanks to all the clinical collaborators, patients, and colleagues.

We organized a 30-day advanced training course in “Genomics and Molecular Technologies” for industrial applications from 01st to 30th November 2023 under CSIR integrated skill initiative activities. The course structure included an end-to-end whole genome sequencing (WGS) workflow inclusive of DNA library preparation to bioinformatics pipelines for delivering high-quality insights on the industrial application of WGS technology. @CsirSkill @MSDESkillIndia @CSIR_IND @dgcsirIndia @DrNKalaiselvi @souvik_csir @HRDG_CSIR

Session 2 on Basic & #Clinical #Research, chaired by @curiousraman, @DBT_inStem & featuring talks by Anju Shukla, @kmc_manipal Radha Rama Devi, @RCH_India R V Shaji, @CSCR_CMC_inStem @OffCMCVellore Srinivasrao R, @DBT_inStem @bk_binukumar, @IGIBSocial & Karthik B, @ccmb_csir

The interesting neurologist is @OliverSacks and the metal is Tungsten. Did you know that many #IGIB #scientists were trained in #Chemistry. @souvik_csir, @mundel69 and Pradeep Kumar continue to explore #chemicalbiology and #nanobiotechnology, researching at the Chemistry Biology interface. Talking of #metals, at #IGIB, @bk_binukumar studies Wilson’s disease which is caused by the aberrant accumulation of Copper in cells. Check out their work here: nature.com/articles/s4159… #OWOL #IGIB #OWOLIGIB @CSIR_IND @Kampnasta

New research finds Cyclin Dependent kinase 5 regulates cPLA2 activity; @bk_binukumar & @IGIBSocial colleagues explore this in the context of #Parkinsons (transg. mice & human); New insights for targeting neuroinflammation caused by hyperactive cPLA2 & CDK5 eneuro.org/content/early/…

@Arushi_Batra28 Congratulations

Did not expect poster presentations in a virtual mode to be interactive, with a chat option allowing you to answer questions and also pitch it in a 2 minute talk, it was a good experience! 😃✌️ Plus winning a second prize added on to the happiness at the #ISIEM conference 2021 😃

The last date for #PhD admissions has been extended to 31st May 2021. If you feel passionate about #Genomics and would want to explore fields like #MolecularMedicine, #BigData #FunctionalBiology, #SystemsBiology, and #RNABiology then apply online! igib.res.in/bdmg/PhDRegist…

Genetic testing of #WilsonDisease now available from @bk_binukumar lab at @IGIBSocial More details at guardian.meragenome.com/icrowd

One of the recent endeavours have been to use genomics diagnose patients with treatable #intellectualdisabilities . The programme on #WilsonDisease by @bk_binukumar Lab @CSIR_IND @IGIBSocial is one such focussed initiative . Know more guardian.meragenome.com/icrowd
