We are an exciting biophysics group CSIR-IICB and we looking for bright and ambitious research scholars of Physics/Physical Chemistry background. Walk in for the interview on Jan 11. More details at iicb.res.in Please forward to others who would be interested.

We had a celebration today at the lab. Happy Birthday Souradip Paul

Proud of our research scholar Sumangal Roychowdhury •°○°•○ who conceptualized, wrote, and corresponded this nice one for Communications Biology #llps CSIR-IICB CSIR, India nature.com/articles/s4200…

1/2 Our stressed-out PhD scholars deserve a long-overdue increase in their stipends. The revision was due in 2022 after an already delayed raise in 2019. How can they meet their daily needs & undertake research amid rising inflation? DSTIndia indiatoday.in/education-toda…

🚨🚨The GRC on Intrinsically Disordered Proteins #IDPs is coming up!! 🍝🧵🏔️ June 23 - 28, 2024 at beautiful Les Diablerets Switzerland. Come join us - but apply soon - spaces are running out! Details here: grc.org/intrinsically-… - follow us for more info on the program!

In our lab, we work hard to find our way through complex problems of disease biology. We are looking for bright postdocs through NPDF and DBT RA schemes. Let us know if you are interested.

Can we apply the conformational switch of a peptide to do something useful? Presenting our recent paper, which is published at Small. It was the result of a lot of hard work and collaboration. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our The Journal of Physical Chemistry article on phase separation of KMP-11. We show that this behavior depends on solution conditions, with cholesterol binding playing a critical role. This was an invitation for ACS Publications special issue on CRSI. CSIR-IICB CSIR, India pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

The newest is EMBO Reports We combined parasite biology and biophysics to show that KMP-11 transfers cholesterol and induces membrane phase transition in leishmania. A great collaboration with Budhaditya Mukherjee We thank CSIR-IICB CSIR, India ICMR embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Delighted to share my 2nd author publication "Influence of magnesium ions and crowding agents on structure and stability of RNA aptamers" in collaboration with Dr Ipsita Roy NIPER SAS Nagar (Mohali) Krishnananda Chattopadhyay Sumangal Roychowdhury •°○°•○ CSIR, India AcSIR CSIR-IICB pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

This is the newest front cover of The Journal of Physical Chemistry , and this is from our lab CSIR-IICB. This is possible for our research scholars, who are so creative, so intelligent, and so hard working. Thank you guys. ACS Publications CSIR, India #MyACSCover

We hereby announce ourselves to be the "Happiest Research Group" in the world! Any competition?

Congratulations to Ashmita, who has successfully defended her thesis. Her journey was a difficult one, with many twists and turns; but as they say, when going gets tough, the tough gets going. Ashmita, you are the toughest cookie, and we are really proud of you.

New paper from the lab. It was a delight working with Suvendra for this project. cell.com/structure/abst…
