Biosciences & Bioengineering, IIT Bombay

The integrated Lab (iLab) course for MSc students is structured as an open-ended research question. It ended with a symposium where teams presented their work on the "Structural and Functional Characterization of FtsZ". Great talks and lots of learnings! @iitbombay #MScresearch

New findings show how these tools are organized and even anchored in place to work more efficiently Overall, a fascinating look at how microbes—both harmful and helpful—adapt so precisely to live in the human body. (3/3) #Microbiology #Virology

Key takeaways: The SARS-CoV-2 virus can “trick” our cells to help it move and multiply—getting the balance just right to build new viruses A helpful gut bacterium (Akkermansia muciniphila) survives by feeding on gut mucus using specialized tools. (2/3)

We hosted Dr. Debajit Dey, Research Fellow, faculty of Biological Sciences, @UniversityLeeds, on how microbes use smart strategies to survive inside us.#IITBBBSBESeminars @iitbombay (1/3)

The findings revealed key metabolic vulnerabilities that can be exploited to sensitize tumor growth, highlighting potential therapeutic targets for CTCL management.#CancerResearch #CTCL (3/3)

This thesis investigated how inflammatory cytokine signaling shapes tumor cell metabolism in cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) through a multi-omics approach, and evaluated the clinical relevance of the observed metabolic rewiring in patient samples. (2/3)

Diksha Attrish defended her PhD thesis on "Understanding cytokine-driven metabolic rewiring in Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)". Many congratulations to Diksha and her thesis advisor @purwarrahul2! #theBSBEgrad @iitbombay (1/3)

This talk highlights emerging tools, challenges, and the need for strong collaboration between engineers and clinicians to fully realise AI’s potential in pregnancy imaging. #AI #MedicalImaging #Obstetrics (3/3)

From clinical decision support to real-time quality assurance, AI is beginning to unlock new possibilities in obstetric ultrasound—streamlining workflows and improving diagnostic precision.(2/3)

We hosted @FetalUltrasound from @OMPHI_Ox for a seminar on the use of Artificial Intelligence in Obstetric Imaging. #IITBBSBESeminars @iitbombay (1/3)

It identifies a novel IL-9–HIF-1α axis in CTCL and highlights IL-17–driven immune suppression in DLBCL, offering potential avenues for targeted therapies.#CancerResearch #TME #CTCL #DLBCL #Immunology (3/3)

Her research explores how the tumor microenvironment drives cancer progression, focusing on cytokine-mediated mechanisms in CTCL and DLBCL. (2/3)

Ditipriya Mukherjee defended her PhD thesis on "Elucidating d role of tumor microenvironment-derived cytokines in driving progression of hematological malignancies".Many congratulations 2 Ditipriya & her thesis advisor @purwarrahul2! #theBSBEgrad @iitbombay @CellularBiophys (1/3)

The talk explored how behavior emerges across multiple timescales—from seconds to minutes—using Drosophila as a powerful model to understand how neural circuits transform sensory inputs into action. (2/2)

We hosted @BhandawatVikas, Associate Professor at Drexel University "From Sensation to Action.” (1/2) #IITBBSBESeminars @IITBombay #Neuroscience #SeminarSeries

The seminar highlighted how redox stress acts as a context-dependent driver across neurovascular, cardiovascular, and metabolic diseases, with insights spanning development to disease mechanisms. (2/2)

We were pleased to host Dr. Shambhu Yadav (Harvard Medical School / BWH for a talk on "Dynamic tissue-specific modulation of redox stress and its impact on health and disease". #IITBBSBESeminars @IITBombay #SeminarSeries #RedoxBiology (1/2)

Growing out of the shadows of Prof. G. N. Ramachandran, post-PhD, she worked in industry, co-founded a start-up in the Bay Area,& at the age of 60 years, joined academia.Her energy & ability 2 shape-shift to adapt to changing dynamics in the professional world were inspiring(3/3)

She shared how, @ IBAB, group of researchers,which included students, in collaboration wid clinicians, set up end-to-end pipeline starting 4m India-specific target identification,sample collection,genome sequencing & assembly & analysis 2 uncover novel biological insights. (2/3)

Dr. Subha Srinivasan, Professor and IBAB Chair of Genomics, Institute of Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology, Bengaluru, talked about "Extracting Unique Insights from Assembled Genomes." #IITBBSBESeminars @IITBombay #Genomics #Bioinformatics #SeminarSeries (1/3)
