My article in Hindu on how human-relevant models can provide us with crucial insights on understanding how the SARS-CoV-2 affects human organs which can further direct us towards potential therapeutics @AIC_CCMB @BioMed_21

For the last 3 yrs NTSE exams conducted by ncert (which would cost around 40cr) has not been conducted on the grounds that expenditure on scholarship should be controlled. thehindu.com/news/national/c…, For the best experience read this on The Hindu App. bit.ly/THNewsApp
If you are a researcher working on in vitro or complex in vitro models, such as #iPSC, #organoids #organonchip #3dprinted organ, do take this survey! It aims to understand peer review expectations during the submission of #invitro data during a research paper or #grant submission
Have reviewers of manuscripts or grants asked you for #animal data even when it wasn’t scientifically justified? 🐁 🇮🇳
@HSIGlobal/India, in collaboration with @IndiaBioscience and @AIC_CCMB
is conducting a survey to understand #peer reviewer expectations and requests for animal-based research methods and authors’ perceptions of these requests.
In this event article for @NatureInd , I write about how india recently waived off an #animaltest for veterinary #vaccine safety testing
💉 India recently abolished an outdated test in use for over 50 years to prove the safety of veterinary vaccines. The Target Animal Batch Safety Test involved injecting high doses of vaccines into animals to observe their reactions.

"When human genome was sequenced in 2001, many thought it would prove to be an ‘instruction manual’ for life. But the genome turned out to be no blueprint. In fact,most genes dont have a pre-set function that can be determined from their DNA sequence" nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Biological regulatory networks are large & complex, but converge to only a few distinct phenotypes. Why?
We look at networks across many contexts - EMT, pluripotency, gonadal cell-fate, neuroendocrine differentiation - to answer this question.

Delighted to hear about the approval of #NationalResearchFoundation bill by the Union Cabinet. Let us look at NRF’s recent history, proposed fns & objective as the Indian S&T system's hub. We emphasize its potential to completely catalyze & transform the Indian R&D ecosystem. (1)
