🔬 Hiring: Project Technical Support–III at BRIC-RGCB ​Join the Host–Pathogen Lab for an ICMR-funded project on Extracellular Vesicles & Bacterial Pneumonia. 🔗 lnkd.in/g3xMhcPP ​#ScienceJobs #Extracellularvesicles #HostPathogen #AcademicSky

Our lab 🧫 turns 5! 🎉 Our mission: investigating pneumococcal infections via 3 strategic ways: Extracellular Vesicles, AMR drug repurposing, immune profiling. ✅ 4 Projects ✅ 3+ Publications ✅ Training 4 PhD students, 20+ MSc Trainees Thanks to my brilliant team-past & present for the dedication!

Such a fantastic meeting @isev.org EVs in Immunity, Athens, Greece. Great to present our work and meet the international EV community.

Excited to talk about the lab's latest research on extracellular vesicles in @isev.org EVs in Immunity, Athens next week. ​https://www.isev.org/evs-in-immunity #EVsInImmunity #ISEV

I’m pleased to share that I’ve been inducted into the Editorial Board of Microbiology Spectrum, American Society for Microbiology. Looking fwd to work with journal to advancing excellence in microbiological research and publishing. journals.asm.org/journal/spec... #Microbiology #ASM #Science

Had an incredibly enriching four days at the RGCB Research Conference in beautiful Munnar! ​The scientific sessions were cutting-edge and a true honor to hear from Nobel laurate, Prof. Morten Meldal. ​It was also great to catch up with Dhiraj Kumar from ICGEB and Puran Sijwali from CCMB Hyderabad.

🚨New Preprint! Excited to share our latest work on tackling Streptococcus pneumoniae, a major cause of pneumonia and meningitis worldwide - a WHO priority pathogen. 📄 Read doi.org/10.1101/2025... #AntibioticResistance #DrugRepurposing #PneumoniaResearch #StreptococcusPneumoniae #Antivirulence

Very cool indeed! The mechanism of NET-thrombin binding and the potential for antisense LNA therapy opens up exciting avenues for treating dangerous clots. Great work highlighted here!

Celebrating graduation of two MSc thesis students, Sudarshan and Sreerenjini from the lab. Sudarshan worked on screening virulence inhibitors while Sreerenjini worked on Extracellular vesicles Humbled to receive the "Best Guru" memento from these amazing young scientists. Go conquer the world!

A national symposium was organized to honor superannuating scientists, Dr. Moinak and Dr. Soniya from Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology. They described their journey inspirations followed by scientific poster sessions. Aswathy presented her existing findings in her poster gathering wide interest

Lithocolic acid identified as key metabolite promoting longevity during CR.

Pleasure to share our latest story from my laboratory on bacterial virulence inhibitors at the International AMR symposium #ALARM2024 at Amrita School of Biotechnology. Special thanks Dr. Bipin and @Geetha Kumar. Congrats to my student, Joel for winning the best poster award 👏 @nizet.bsky.social

Hello bluesky! Thus is our first tweet here. We are a curious bunch of scientists working on infection biology at Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, India. Look forward to connecting with fellow scientists. Please like and message so I can connect.
