Excited to share our review now out in Royal Society Open Science! 🎉
We explore the dopaminergic system in C.elegans from dopamine metabolism to the diverse behaviours it regulates

Happy to have worked with my supervisor @IHardege on this project

Thrilled to share our recent work!
We uncover how the neuropeptide FLP-15 fine-tunes locomotion in C. elegans, revealing an intriguing layer of neuropeptidergic control of motor behavior.
Grateful to Sharanya H @SurendranS78015 @NamraTasnim @Kavita_Babu_

From “sharing the Nobel moment” with Victor Ambrose and Gary Ruvkun to soaking up scientific discussions to reconnecting with old and new wormies, #worm25 was a total blast 💥 #gsagenetics #celegans 🪱 Thanks to all the organizers!

I’m honored to receive the Alumni Association Leadership and Outreach Award at @IiserMohali
Heartfelt thanks to @iisermalumni for this recognition. I am excited to contribute to its future initiatives.
I also thank @jkscientists for providing the valuable outreach platform

Congratulations to @rav_budha for defending his PhD.
Dr. Budha Ratna Rav now on! 🎉🎉 Wish you great success ahead 🙌🏻
Cheers to @santosh7bhai for another Phd from the lab.

This is a follow up study where we show that FLP-15 regulates the amplitude of body bends during locomotion in C.elegans. Thanks to @HSharanya @NamraTasnim @SNangeliyathu for their contribution to the study.

This is a follow-up if @usbumer1's preprint on the role of FLP-15 in foraging. @usbumer1, @HSharanya, Siju and Namra study the role of FLP-15 in maintaining normal body-bends in C. elegans. 6/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share that the manuscript from my PhD work is available on biorxiv. We delve into the neuropeptidergic regulation of foraging behavior. We also show how neuropeptide signaling intersects with dopamine transmission to modulate this behavior.
Kavita Babu@Kavita_Babu_
The next one is @usbumer1 's work on the study of foraging behaviour in worms. He found that the neuropeptide FLP-15 was required for local and global search beaviours. Umer was helped by Siju, Sharanya and Namra. 4/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Transition bet local to global search driven in part by food. Role of a neuropeptide, FLP-15, & its receptor is in both searches. Umer Saleem Bhat

Postdocs do a lot of invisible labor in academia. The majority of which is helping PhD students. Many of us are happy to do it, but when students fail to acknowledge that help, especially in front of the PI, it kinda kills the vibe.
Give people credit for their work.

The #EMBOneuropeptides meeting has just stared @niserbbs @niser_official. Looking forward to lots of NP talks. From our lab @usbumer1, @Navneetshahi7 are giving selected talks and Sharanya is giving a flash talk. All 3 also have posters, please meet with them if here. #CNSIISc

@DrJitendraSingh While you support for advances in biotechnology, Jammu & Kashmir continues to lack both educational and supportive industry sector. It’s time to invest in biotech education and infrastructure to ensure the region doesn’t fall behind in this crucial field.

2/3 @sakinaitoo Biotechnology is the future, yet remains absent in most higher secondary schools and colleges across Jammu & Kashmir. With over 500 schools, it’s crucial to make biotech accessible to students empowering them with the knowledge to lead in science & innovation.

#1/3 @OmarAbdullah It is extremely unfortunate to see that biotechnology has once again been ignored in the recent vacancies for 10+2 lecturers advertised by JKPSC. Not a single post has been advertised in the field with aspirants being left in a shock.
