After an engaging day of discussions on many themes in cellular/tissue-level biophysics, a happy cohort of 100+ participants, before moving to the poster session: IISc Bangalore Ramray Bhat Bangalore Life Science Cluster (BLiSC) Biopatrika Living Machines-NCBS Felix Rico @pearce_maths Bangalore Developmental Biology Club IndiaBioscience.org

Thanks to Mohit Kumar Jolly and Ramray Bhat for organizing a nice and engaging meeting Physics of Cells and Tissues 2.0! Very interdisciplinary and insightful.

An awesome opportunity for hands on immersion in the upcoming workshop on Female Contraception...

Glad to have contributed to this work on multi-scale math modeling of EMT in ovarian cancer, led by Sam Oliver Gibin Powathil Swansea University. Thanks to ICTS math oncology meeting, Global Wales-IISc joint research fund for support! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… OIR.IISc BE, IISc

Heartiest congratulations to all the winners! 👏👏👏 I thank Chemical Research Society of India (CRSI) for considering me for the Bronze medal 2025 and recognising our work. The credit goes to my students and collaborators. We feel excited and energised to do even better in the future! 😀

New study: Metabolic disorders seen in conditions like diabetes & ageing hasten cancer spread. But which steps are specifically accelerated remain ill-understood (1/n)

The Confinement Mechanobiology Lab at MBI is hiring! If you are interested in doing a #postdoc at the Mechanobiology Institute in science-friendly #Singapore, please reach out! We have a multi-year fully funded position designed to help you meet your career goals in the rapidly growing field of cellular #confinement!

Two funded openings in our group (morphogenesisiisc.wixsite.com/home) 1. for a project assistant to study drug resistance and multicellularity in cancer and 2. for a postdoctoral fellow to work on biophysical properties of cancer cells. Interested folks please email me at [email protected]

If you are in a place where things are mostly conducive, and people are largely supportive, but you still settle for mediocrity, it is completely on you. You can not blame the system for this. Dream big, aim for the sky, and pour your heart and soul into what you are doing🙏😎.

Researchers from the IISc Bangalore have built organs on chips to simulate cancer metastasis. They examined how cancer cells respond under conditions of ageing and diabetes, finding that stress enhanced metastatic potential. Ramray Bhat

Proud of you Mohit Kumar Jolly my friend and comrade!

A delight to start the day with a piece in Scroll.in by Arvind Subramanian on Marwa through anecdotes n charming musings. As a Marwaphile, i offer an immortal chanchalya bhaav version: youtu.be/L57EN2IXTwE?fe… by Vasant Deshpande. Recall many silly debates on whose Marwa was better.
