The best way to teach people critical thinking is to teach them to write

We are excited to announce the next round of MS/PhD admissions in the Dept. of Biotechnology at IIT Madras! Come join us and be part of an exciting journey in Biotechnology research!

Delighted to share our latest paper, led by Alex Khang, out now in Nature Communications. Alex developed an analysis pipeline that uses mathematical descriptors of cell morphology to assign (myo)fibroblast phenotypes, avoiding the laborious and subjective process of manual image grading!

12 lessons students learn in the Sinclair Lab: Lesson 1. Write the way you speak

lessons from the #23andme fall! why #DTC companies are recreational at best and why they should not oversell the promise? what the companies in #India mustnot do and why we, the consumers, should not fool ourselves on the hype! #Genomics thewire.in/health/what-th…

Pericytes help blood vessels grow better than other support cells by staying close to them and using a key signal called IL-6. These findings could help improve treatments that need new blood vessels, like in healing or tissue repair. ow.ly/tUhQ50VBLSQ

Ever wondered how cancer cells “decide” to spread? When high-grade breast cancer cells get crowded, they shrink and become more mobile, turning a non-invasive tumour into a threat. Scientists have identified the molecular switch behind the change. elifesciences.org/articles/10676…

The nonlinear mechanical properties of soft biological tissues and composites are poorly understood. Their strain stiffening under compression and shear is now found to be universal, and follows from the physics of the underlying biopolymer matrix. nature.com/articles/s4156…

A two-day hands-on workshop on spectroscopy and biophysical characterization to be conducted in June. Find registration details below.

Today, I complete 15 years as a faculty member at #IISERPune. I have attempted to put together a list (based on my blogs) of some lessons that I have learnt so far. A disclaimer to note is that this list is by no means a comprehensive one, but a text of self-reflection from my

Pradhan Lab at IITM Madras is looking to host and support motivated young researchers under ANRF NPDF scheme in the areas of cellular mechanobiology, cell-ECM interactions, biomaterial-based disease models, and microfluidics. Feel free to contact by email.

A two-day workshop on Basics of Flow Cytometry and Data Analysis. Details mentioned below.

Today, as on every single day, remembering Dr Darshan Ranganathan, my mother, my inspiration. She authored 16 JACS papers when just 1 can make your career, never received a single Indian award, never cared. She died on her sixtieth birthday, June 4, 2001. artsandculture.google.com/story/ewWR-0xq…

Prof Sayantan Dutta would be happy to host a motivated NPDF candidate to work on computational modeling of self-organization of living marerials. More about his work at lnkd.in/gEncPP4n More about the fellowship at lnkd.in/g-xHXYXG. Pls. contact by 12/6.
