Congratulations Dr Pal🎉

AI camera captures & zooms into the elephants approaching the railway line, sending alerts to the control room for stopping the train. We had solutions. Happy to see that the ones implemented are now giving results.These 4 cameras along the track was part of mitigation measures.

NIH funding cuts could cost the U.S. $16 Billion and 68,000 jobs. An interactive tool from Joshua Weitz and team shows the local impact across the U.S. - down to the county level. This isn’t abstract - these numbers affect real communities and real lives: scienceimpacts.org

Thanks for the opportunity to contribute to this nice study Melvin Prasad, Laszlo, Avik Kumar Pal

Second chapter of talented Harshith C Y 's PhD thesis, now a preprint. This describes role of WRKY53 in wound signalling downstream of OsPEP-OsPSKR module previously identified by him. Comments are welcome. Thanks National Centre for Biological Sciences Tata Institute of Fundamental Research biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Harshith C Y was a fantastic lab member who took keen interest in protein biochemistry after Ashwin Nair. Both formed a wonderful team. All the best Harshith C Y enjoy science.

Check out our new study now in biorxiv! We show the involvement of OsWRKY53 in signalling downstream of PEPs and its role in suppression of PSK mediated transcriptional responses. Shiva prasad Dipasmit Palchaudhuri and Riju.

Delighted to share this. A novel H4 variant that modulates chromatin to mediate salt stress response. This mammoth work was driven to perfection by Vivek Hari Sundar, a wonderful PhD student who also taught me. We report its CryoEM structure & unusual chemistry National Centre for Biological Sciences 1/3

Excited to share the second part of my Ph.D. work with Shiva prasad lab National Centre for Biological Sciences. Histones are sculptures of (epi)genomic architecture and we here report the histone H4 variant (H4.V) in Oryza - nature.com/articles/s4147…. Nature Plants.

Always a good message for Indian media.

I did my Post-Doc in India. The right lab and environment really helped! We hope to offer that to you, if you’re interested. Do get in touch for this application with a CV and questions you’d like to address.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

Varicella-zoster virus reactivation (shingles) is linked to an increased risk of dementia, based on health records of >100 million people in the US, adding to many other studies demonstrating this link. Vaccination reduces this risk. #Alzheimer #Herpes nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited to see my colleague’s second paper published on the fascinating balance between wound response and immunity — great work from the OS WRKY53 project! 👏🔥 Congratulations Harshith C Y Shiva prasad and team.

Paper alert! Second first author paper from super talented Harshith C Y now in The Plant Journal OsWRKY53 dictates wound responses in rice through fine-tuning crosstalk between PEP and PSK-mediated signalling - PubMed share.google/UJKJjTMgqfkGfZ…
