Nice to see that our work is still in news.
@LabVenomics
Venom from snake bites leads to more than 100,000 deaths every year. The antidote 95Mat5 worked well against multiple venoms and protected mice from death; the only exception was the king cobras’ venom. Rohini Subrahmanyam writes.

A synthetic human antibody neutralizes alpha #neurotoxins from deadly snakes such as mambas and kraits in mice—taking a step to a safer, broader #antivenom for snakebites that still kill thousands worldwide. @anaturalist @LabVenomics @scrippsresearch scim.ag/5YQ

Our paper on the cover of @ScienceTM! What's more, it features my photograph of a cobra from our beautiful @iiscbangalore
This is a collab with Jardine lab at @scrippsresearch, @CSRIatLSTM, et al. Takes us 1 step closer to Universal antivenom for treating snakebite

This week's new issue of Science Translational Medicine has arrived!
A synthetic antibody against deadly snake venoms takes a step toward a "universal" antivenom, a novel antibacterial compound suppresses a dangerous cousin of M. tuberculosis, and more. scim.ag/5Xl

Born #OnThisDay in 1887 was Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Though he had very little formal training, his work was substantial, often using methods that were completely novel. In 1918 he became one of the youngest Fellows of the Royal Society. bit.ly/3hHJE0N

Have you ever been stung by a wasp? Wonder why it was so painful? You've probably also heard that some people are allergic to wasp stings, and you can only find out after getting stung. I've always found these intriguing. Find answers to these in our latest study.

Awesome collaboration with super awesome colleagues highlights the remarkable biochemical diversity and evolution of ground- and tree-dwelling funnel-web spiders. Kudos to @naeemtree on his first from the lab! And, of course, fangtastic work by @DrFeCardoso.

Hot off the press! We comparatively evaluated venom composition and biochemical activity, morbidity- (haemorrhage, necrosis, nephrotoxicity) and toxicity-inflicting potentials of Russell's viper from India and Palestine viper from Israel.

Senji wins the best oral presentation award for early career researchers at the 21st international society for toxinology conference in Abu Dhabi!! Many congratulations @SLaxme
@ist2022 @LabVenomics
Fangtastic talk by our own @SLaxme at the @ist2022. Extremely proud. Can’t describe the feeling of seeing the lab’s first PhD student presenting our work on an international platform.
