I am definitely happy with my academic job. Let me list out my sources of happiness. 1/n

I am angry and ashamed "69% deaths in children under 5 years due to malnutrition and malnourishment in the year 2022. Hungry Indians go up from 19 crores to 35 crores now". m.economictimes.com/news/india/cen…

Rajasthan initiates #GenomicSurveillance of #LumpySkinDisease , one of the first states to do so in the wake of the deadly outbreak, now spanning over 15 states. CSIR, India CSIR-IGIB m.timesofindia.com/city/jaipur/ge…

CSIR-IGIB Invites Expression of Interest from Industry on Collaboration / Licensing on #LumpySkinDisease Diagnosis and Genomic Surveillance. 🔗igib.res.in/?q=Expressiono…

It was a pleasure speaking on #Genomics , #GenomicSurveillance and #Epidemiology of emerging infectious diseases at the MDMD and #RecontrezDuVietnam, ICISE Conference Center. Vietnam #Vietnam 🇻🇳

#COVID19 in #China. What we know and what we don't. A long thread, summarizing my thoughts, which I hope to keep updated over the coming weeks.

An interesting abstract in the recent ASHG meeting caught attention, primarily since 🔘was on the #Indian population 🔘there were no Indian organisation / investigators 🔘as published by a pharma company and a another which had(!) operations in India. The abstract 👇

It was a pleasure to speak at the #GIC2023 on #Genomics approaches for pathogen detection and surveillance, and listen to the many wonderful talks. Thanks Sudha Rao for organising the wonderful meeting.

India lost a passionate scientist , who was instrumental in understanding and controlling the JE outbreaks in UP. An unassuming and simple person, who touched many lives . May his soul rest in peace.
