Thanks to @ANRFIndia @India_Alliance @ignitelsf
@iitbombay for support. Kudos to @roy_suvapriya
@SrijitMandal08 for writing this engaging article
The EMBO conference on Cell Autonomous Defence & Innate Immunity at CCMB was a scientific feast. Top researchers of the field gathered for exciting 3-days. Kudos @Chauhanlab_ILS @KannegantiLab for putting this together
A first-of-its-kind meeting! CCMB hosted a unique India-EMBO conference bringing together innate immunity, cell death & autophagy under the unifying theme of cell-autonomous defense. A landmark moment for the field and for India’s research community @EMBO @ccmb_csir @CSIR_IND
Shouldn’t this be the wake-up call for all living in this planet?
Tehran is going to be evacuated and the capital city moved as it is running out of water largely because of climate change.
'Iran’s capital must be moved because the country “no longer has a choice,” President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday in remarks carried by state media, warning that severe ecological strain has made Tehran impossible to sustain'.
Many cities around the world will face a similar fate.
You’d think this would be high up on the news, wouldn’t you…. ?

Our commitment to advancing healthcare goes hand in hand with empowering those who drive it forward. Sun Pharma Science Foundation’s Science Scholar Fellowship supports young researchers whose work holds the promise to create lasting impact. Congratulations to the 2025 winners!
Position after all Does Matter
Our manuscript describing subcellular localisation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis inside the macrophages. Its result of hard work of Naveen Baid and Shivani Sahu besides lots of help from Amit Tuli, Mahak Sharma, Vardharajan and Sanjeev Khosla. link.springer.com/article/10…
Freshly minted PhD from our lab. Sourav Ghosh @SouravSGW has successfully defended his thesis. He was key in shaping not only the lab’s scientific quest but also its culture and spirit. Wish you all the very best Dr. Ghosh for a stellar academic career ahead. Upwards and Onwards
@SouravSGW defended his PhD thesis on ‘Deciphering the role & regulation of a host AAA-ATPase, VCP/p97 as an innate cytosolic defense mechanism against bacterial infections'. Many congratulations to Sourav and his thesis advisor Prof @Banerjeeiit! #theBSBEgrad @iitbombay (1/3)
Extremely happy to announce that Sourav Ghosh @SouravSGW from our lab is awarded the prestigious @SunPharma_Live Science Foundation Science Scholar Fellowship (SSSF)-2025 for his doctoral work on cell autonomous immunity.
Congratulations to @SouravSGW , PhD student in @banerjeeiitb lab, for winning the prestigious @SunPharma_Live Science Foundation (SSSF) Science Scholar Fellowship for the year 2025 @iitbombay #PhDAchievement
