Founder and Executive Chairperson of @Bioconlimited, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw gave an inspiring talk today at #IISERPune on bridging #science and #enterprise. In her address, she said, "India has the scientific talent, the ideas, and the ambition to lead in global innovation. What we must now build are the systems that can carry basic science forward, from discovery to real-world impact. Institutions like IISER Pune can play a critical role in anchoring this link between fundamental research and application to deliver meaningful societal impact at scale." Thank you, @kiranshaw for the visit and for sharing your insights!

#YuvaSangam2026 #Day3 (June 6, 2026): Connecting with Nature, Heritage, and Leadership: Day-3 of the visit by the Andhra Pradesh delegation reflected the themes of #Paryavaran (Environment), #Parampara (Traditions) and #ParasparSampark (People-to-People Connect)! The day began with a Tree Walk and Tree Plantation drive at #IISERPune campus to appreciate #biodiversity and environmental #sustainability. Delegates explored the rich cultural heritage of Maharashtra through a visit to the iconic #ShaniwarWada and a #HeritageWalk through the historic streets of the Pune City. A special language session by Prof. Sonal Kulkarni-Joshi of Deccan College provided an engaging introduction to Maharashtra’s linguistic heritage. This was followed by enriching interactions with Honourable Ministers Shri Chandrakant Dada Patil and Smt. Madhuri Tai Misal. Shri Patil welcomed the delegates to experience the state of Maharashtra and appreciate both the shared and unique aspects of the two states. Smt Misal shared her perspectives on urban development and encouraged delegates to aim high while remaining connected to their roots. The day concluded with a special Maharashtrian dinner, giving delegates an opportunity to experience the state's rich culinary traditions while strengthening bonds of friendship and cultural exchange. @EduMinOfIndia @EBSB_Edumin @EBSB_YuvaSangam @AICTE_INDIA #EkBharatShreshthaBharat #AndhraPradesh #Maharashtra #YouthExchange #CulturalConnect

It is special for the authors of these related AXL-Golgi studies to have their work featured on the cover for both. Congrats @ArnavSaha19, Prachi, @Tush96rkhane ! Thanks @BiologyOpen and @J_Cell_Sci Thanks @ANRFIndia and @IISERPune
The AXL-Golgi story... has two parts, both of which are now published. 1) AXL receptor tyrosine kinase regulates Golgi organization and function via an adhesion-Arf1 signaling axis in breast and lung cancer cell lines tinyurl.com/AXLGolgi1 @BiologyOpen 2) Differential AXL expression and Arf1 regulation control stiffness-dependent Golgi organization in breast cancer cells tinyurl.com/AXLGolgi2 @J_Cell_Sci Together, they make for a comprehensive story identifying the role of AXL in controlling Golgi organization and its regulation by mechanosensory cues (matrix stiffness). Work started as a simple screen by Prachi to pick AXL as a gene of interest, taken forward by @ArnavSaha19 and @Tush96rkhane. Supported ably by many others. It's also nice to be able to use data from Vibhas's @SVibha1 studies in this paper, as she identified the adhesion-Golgi connection many years ago. Congratulations to all involved in this study, which was challenging and exciting in equal measure.

Glad to see this AXL-Golgi study featured on the cover of the current issue of @BiologyOpen. Congrats Prachi and @ArnavSaha19. TITLE - 'AXL receptor tyrosine kinase regulates Golgi organization and function via an adhesion-Arf1 signaling axis in breast and lung cancer cell lines' The image shows an MDAMB231 cell in which the receptor tyrosine kinase AXL (magenta) localizes to membrane ruffles (cyan overlay), and GM130-labeled Golgi (green). These two AXL pools contribute to cell function. The cyan overlay on the membrane ruffles was done using an image-editing tool.
