Join us at the International Conference on Electron Microscopy at IISc Bangalore, alongside the XLII Annual EMSI Meeting! A premier event bringing together global experts, researchers & industry leaders in Electron microscopy.

Gearing up for #EMSI2025 – where electrons meet excellence! 🌟 500+ scientists across Life & Physical Sciences will join us in IISc Bangalore for cutting-edge microscopy, discovery & collaboration. Exciting line-up of Life Science speakers await! Let the countdown begin!

Check out our recent work. Oligomerization mechanism of pore-forming toxins in the lipidic environment. Thanks to Somnath Dutta for giving me this opportunity, congratulations to Somnath Dutta Mahipal Ganji and all involved. Last month, I presented this work at 3DEM GRC in Maine, USA.

Using a combination of microscopy & imaging techniques, scientists at IISc have explored how the alpha hemolysin toxin – produced by the infectious Staphylococcus aureus – interacts with lipid membranes. Read more: iisc.ac.in/how-bacterial-… Somnath Dutta #IIScresearch

It was true delight working on this project with ARNAB CHATTERJEE Thejas Satheesh Somnath Dutta and team.

Delighted to share our latest study published online now Structure, from Dept. of Biological Sciences (DBS), IISER Mohali IISER Mohali. This is the PhD work of Mahendra Mahendra Singh, in collaboration with Somnath Dutta lab and Jagannath Mondal lab.
