On the 3rd day of Rhetor 5.0, we have with us Dr.Ravi Devani, a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Plant Sciences,Paris-Saclay. He works on plant molecular biology, focusing on the role of ethylene in sex determination in cucurbits. Make sure to join this exciting talk!

As Rhetor 5.0 continues, we have with us Dr. Debasree Dutta from RGCB, Thiruvananthapuram. Join us for this wonderful talk on August 29 to know more about her work on the histone epigenetics that determine mammalian development.

On the 4th day of Rhetor 5.0, we have Dr. Sunetra Gupta, an infectious disease epidemiologist from the University of Oxford, who has made significant contributions during the pandemic through her ‘focused protection’ approach. Do join us for this talk at 7:30 pm IST, August 30.

Next in line for Rhetor 5.0, we have Dr. Michael Sheetz from UTMB Texas. Have you ever wondered if we can restore our senescent cells to their once-youthful days? This is exactly what you will find out in Dr.Sheetz's talk at 9:30 pm IST on 30 August. Do join us for this talk!

On the final day of Rhetor 5.0, Dr.M S Madhusudan from IISER Pune will give us a talk on "Reading Genomes". If you have ever wondered how proteins read a particular DNA sequence in the genome and bind to it to facilitate transcription of genes, then do join us for this talk!

For the last talk of Rhetor 5.0, we have with us Dr.Suhita Nadkarni from IISER Pune. Join us for her talk at 6.45 pm on 31st August to get insights about how synapses can be contructed, and how Feynman's dictum and other computational models can be applied to synapses.

"IISER TVM is excited to host the 3rd edition of "New Ideas in Molecular Evolution" (NEMO3)- a national annual meeting that aims to bring together scientists bridging the gap between molecular & evolutionary biology. More details can be seen here: sites.google.com/view/nemo3iise…."

Excited to kick off the Frontiers Symposium in Biology. Our Director, Prof. J.N. Moorty, inaugurated the event, and Dr. Ravi Martuthachalam, HOD, warmly welcomed all participants. Day 1 was packed with fascinating talks on plant biology, cancer biology, and Drosophila biology.

Proteus conducted Shiksha 2.0, our very own educational outreach program. School students got to visit labs at SoB, IISER TVM and also attend an inspiring talk by Dr.Natesh Ramanathan. We thank Dr.Natesh Ramanathan, his lab members and the foundation lab staff for their support.

We congratulate the team of Ullasa Kodandaramaiah- Indukala Prasannakumar & others for their recent publication in the Journal of Insect Physiology. The paper talks about the environmental impact on eyespot size in tropical satyrine butterflies. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Proteus is delighted to present Rhetor 6.0, the sixth edition of our annual symposium- a gathering of voices, ideas, and discoveries in biology. Join us for a series of offline and online talks that promise to be enriching, engaging, and fun!

The schedule of Rhetor 6.0, our annual symposium, is here. This year’s theme, “Codes of Origin: Deciphering Life’s Blueprints”, brings together an exciting line-up of speakers from diverse fields of biology to share their research and insights!

For the inaugural talk of Rhetor 6.0, we have with us Prof. L S Shashidhara, the Director of NCBS, who specialises in genetics, molecular biology and evolutionary biology. He will be giving a talk on the title - "From the origin of life to the evolution of self". Do not miss out!

Next in line, we have with us Prof. Subba Rao Gangi Setty from IISc Bangalore. His work in understanding the molecular mechanisms in cellular transport pathways has been invaluable in advancing both basic and applied research. Make sure to join us for his talk on 23rd August!
