Remembering Prof. G. N. Ramachandran on his 104th birth anniversary
A pioneer of structural biology, he proposed the triple-helix structure of collagen and co-developed the Ramachandran Plot, which is still used worldwide to understand and validate protein structures.
His work laid the foundation for molecular biophysics in India and continues to shape modern biology and drug discovery.
Celebrating a visionary who changed how we see the molecules of life.

You can’t have better teachers than Professors Subhash Lakhotia, L. S. Shashidhara and colleagues for fly biology. Apply for this ‘hands-on’ workshop on how teachers can use Drosophila for genetics, cell- and developmental biology. Ask the college teachers in your city to apply. And, enjoy a great intellectual week at @NCBS_Bangalore
Applications are open for the 8th hands-on workshop on using Drosophila melanogaster for biology laboratory classes at NCBS, Bengaluru (2–8 Sept 2026).
🗓️ Apply by July 6, 2026. 🪰

How worried should we be about hantavirus? bbc.in/4u0tCPI
Human-to-human transmission of Hantavirus is concerning news. It has already crossed borders. Hopefully, its spread can be contained.
The World Health Organization said Thursday that five confirmed infections have been identified among people connected to the cruise ship MV Hondius, as health authorities across several countries race to trace and contain the outbreak. cnn.it/3PeMM50
