Thanks Department of Biotechnology DSTIndia ICMR and other leaders for getting this tax amended! 🙏🏼

Paper alert! So happy to share the 1st paper entirely from our new home UC San Diego Neurosciences - sensors for polyamines: spermidine, spermine, etc. What are those, you ask? (Autocorrect suggested "trampolines.") Polyamines (PAs) are ubiquitous: redox buffers, part. in endo/lysosomes 1/

Sex or survival—what’s more important? Excited to share our nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict. We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience – the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (FlyWire). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. I’ll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here 🧵

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature. This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium! nature.com/immersive/d428… Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

Had a fantastic time visiting Konark Sun Temple during the EMBO workshop on Neuropeptides in Bhubaneswar. It is always a pleasure to finally meet your X contacts in person Pavan Agrawal

Excited to share the first preprint of our lab. Here we created a robust mouse model of #Parkinsons by injecting AAV6-α-synuclein & PFFs into the substantia nigra. This model recapitulates key features of PD, enabling mechanistic & therapeutic studies.biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

One frame. A Christian journalist. A Muslim soldier. A Hindu pilot. No slogans. No hate. Just India. Different faiths. One flag. One mission. This is India 🇮🇳 where diversity speaks, defends and soars. #IncredibleIndia #UnityInDiversity #IndiaForPeace #IndiaPakistan

Huge thanks to Manipal Institute of Regenerative Medicine & SvetaLab for organizing & hosting me! Loved the audience’s engaging questions, interdisciplinary discussions like these drive innovation! #RegenerativeMedicine #ML #Neuroscience

🚀 We’re hiring! Two fully funded PhD positions in Neuroscience & Behavior at the Agrawal Lab, Centre for Molecular Neurosciences, Manipal Academy of Higher Education . 🧬🐛 National Fellowship holders encouraged. 🔬 #PhDOpening #Neuroscience #Drosophila #AcademicTwitter

Closing soon, 🎓 Calling #Masters graduates in Biological Sciences with National Fellowships! Join us at Manipal Uni to study aggression, sleep & neurodegeneration in Drosophila.
