1/5: 🚨 Urgent Appeal 🚨 On 14th April 2023, my laptop and mobile were stolen from my room. As a PhD scholar at IISER Kolkata, all my important research data and documents are now gone. 😢 #StolenLaptop #PhDStruggles IISER Kolkata Kolkata Police Mamata Banerjee

How do cells measure time? That is one of the main unanswered questions in developmental biology. New research by the Korswagen group, published in eLife on 15 May 2023, brings us one step closer to the answer. Read more here: hubrecht.eu/roundworm-cell…

Please find the new findings from our lab where we have found a unique arms race between host and leishmania. Rupam Paul has found that both try to re-purpose the host copper homeostasis to combat the other. For details, biorxiv.org/content/10.110… IISER Kolkata #Leishmania

It looks like one of the premier national institutes of India IISER Kolkata have lost its ability to produce double distilled ultrapure water. All installed Millipore systems down due to lack of maintenance. Really a pathetic condition for doing experimental research in India.

MiliQ is down, ice machines run dry, PCRs are non-functional, no nanodrop in central facility and what not. I can't remember when the last time I've seen all the central facility working perfectly fine. IISER Kolkata

Ravi Raviranjan Pandey represented our lab on the Departmental Day last week. The poster gave an essence of what we do in our lab. #CopperMetabolism #MembraneTrafficking #Microscopy IISER Kolkata

Ravi Raviranjan Pandey from our lab delivered a special lecture through the IISER Kolkata Ambassador Programme on his ongoing research topic "Melatonin: A promising candidate for the management of Wilson disease" at North Bengal St. Xavier's College. IISER Kolkata #CopperMetabolism

It has been a great journey.

Exciting news! Our lab has been awarded DST grant under the Chemical Therapeutics Program, 2022. We're teaming up with Prof. Amitava Das & Prof. Kalyan Goswami to explore the potential of small molecules for Wilson disease through targeted drug delivery. IISER Kolkata AIIMS-Kalyani
