Fluorescence Society of India is delighted to announce the 15th edition of National Workshop on Fluorescence and Raman Spectroscopy (FCS XV) and 17th edition of Optics Within Life Sciences (OWLS 17) to be held in IIT Bombay in November this year.

Nikita Levin talking about his latest proteomics and glycoproteomics work on the exploris-omnitrap system. Great job! Rosalind Franklin Institute #BMSSBSPR2024

MicroRNA genes have evolved and expanded within the genomes of multicellular organisms for over 500 million years. Today, we know that there are more than a thousand genes for different microRNAs in humans, and that gene regulation by microRNA – discovered by this year’s

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

Applications for our 2025/2026 PhD cohort are now open! This year we have updated our application process, students will now be able to apply for specific project areas during application. Find out more about the programme and the new project areas here: zurl.co/8Nad

The Acetylene Bridge in Intramolecular Singlet Fission: A Boon or A Nuisance? We lay down a simple design perspective on the role of the acetylene bridge in SF, a commonly used motif in acene dimers in Angew. Chem onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

New intake of PhD students joining the 'NGC' group meeting and learning at the 'problems session' that chemistry (and its curly arrows and fish hooks) is a key foundation for interdisciplinary science. 100% true. don't @ me! Rosalind Franklin Institute

Looking forward to participating in the upcoming OWLS-17 meeting and engaging with leading scientists from around the world.
