Dr. Chakraborty @Kaustav_icmrsrf, a postdoc fellow from our lab, presented poster entitled 'Cadmium detoxification pathway : crosstalk with copper transport machinery' in 48th All India Cell Biology Conference 2025 at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur @IITKanpur @iiserkol

Publication alert! We are delighted to share the latest publication in Molecular Biology of the Cell from our lab. The team showed the non-canonical regulation of CTR1 via modulation of membrane mechanical properties. Visit the link to know more molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb… @iiserkol

Swastika @swastikadey02 presented her poster at the International Conference on Recent Advances in Medical Science and Technology (RAdMed 2025) organised by @iitkharagpur. She was later selected to deliver a flash talk on her ongoing work following the poster session. @iiserkol

Prof. Gupta @ArnabGupta1977 was invited to deliver a talk on the dual between host and pathogen through the lens of Copper Metabolism Pathway at the International Conference on Recent Advances in Medical Science and Technology (RAdMed 2025) organised by @iitkharagpur. @iiserkol

We are delighted to share that Prof. Arnab Gupta, has been elected as a Fellow of the West Bengal Academy of Science & Technology (WAST). We congratulate him on this well-deserved recognition and wishing him continued success in his academic and professional endeavors. @iiserkol

Publication alert! We are happy to share the latest publication in @J_Cell_Sci from our lab. Sharon Jose and the team show crosstalk between protein domains for TGN localisation and trafficking of ATP7A & ATP7B. Do visit the link to explore more journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/do… @iiserkol

Publication alert! We are thrilled to share the latest publication in Redox Biology from our lab, where @Raviranjan89788 and team has explored the therapeutic aspect of Melatonin in treatment of Wilson Disease. To know more, check it out below. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @iiserkol

Sharon Mary Jose presented her pre-submission seminar today. In the last 5 years, she has worked on understanding the intra and inter molecular interaction of Copper ATPases, ATP7A/B. She will be graduating soon. All the best Sharon. @iiserkol

Raviranjan presented his 5 years of Doctoral work today through his pre-submission seminar entitled 'Developing and characterizing small molecules for the therapy of Wilson Disease'. He will be graduating soon. Wishing him the best! @Raviranjan89788 @iiserkol #CopperMetabolism

It's great to inform that @Raviranjan89788's work on Therapeutic Aspects of Melatonin has been shortlisted for oral talk for Young Investigator Award at the International Conference on Redox Biology and its Implications in Health and Diseases, (ICRB-IHD), at CSIR-IICB, Kolkata.

The latest finding from our group uncovers the differential endocytic routes of Copper Transporter 1 & specific responses in copper homeostasis proteins upon Cisplatin treatment. To know more, check out the given link below: share.google/A5Ny7lbfmIqk8I… @iiserkol #Membranetrafficking

The Scientist, a science magazine, featured the findings of Dr. Kaustav Chakraborty, a Post Doctoral fellow from our lab. A huge Congratulations for the achievement! @Kaustav_icmrsrf To know more about the interview, do visit the link below. the-scientist.com/postdoc-portra… @iiserkol
