Thanks @biophysj.bsky.social for this cool cover to start our year. Image from the lab by Debasmita shows a wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblast treated with the ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 and embedded in a 1.0 mg/mL 3D collagen gel.

If there has to be a wish for the coming year, let it be this. May we all be students willing to learn.

Have an exciting, learning, inclusive 2026 !!

@rosariovalenti.bsky.social et al. created a proteome-wide yeast degron library for rapid in vivo protein depletion. This tool enables dynamic protein function studies with minimal cellular rewiring rupress.org/jcb/article/...

This semester saw Prof. Nishikant Subhedar teach his course one last time at IISER, Pune. An extraordinary teacher his course have stayed popular across generations of students. We had to raise a 🥂 to celebrate this exceptional career and person. Cheers to the next innings Sir!

Quite school libraries like this one at DLRC, Pune are to be cherished. Trying to get a Monday morning talk prepped waiting for kiddo to finish a game of soccer.

A mind map of the Bio101 course that introduces students to cells and their organization. Concepts from the course compiled by the class in the last lecture of the course @iiserpune. Insightful start to their cell bio journey at IISER,Pune.

Do join for this unique overnight concert on 8th evening, a great opportunity to listen to late night and early morning ragas which may not be too common in most concerts.

At IISER, Pune.
Open to All.

Wonderful 2 days of science and conversations at the 1st Indian Mechanobiology Meeting at @NCBS. Thanks Tapa and all the student volunteers who made this possible. As awlays wonderful to be at the NCBS campus.

Congratulations Antara on your poster award win ! Well deserved.

Will be speaking at IISc, Bangalore this morning on recent work looking at the cell-matrix interphase in 3D hydrogels. If you are around and interested in what such an analysis could reveal do join us at the DBG.
