Work from groups of @ramrayb & @prosenjit_cens at @iiscbangalore shows that the ECM of ovarian cancer spheroids makes them hollow and elastic, increasing resilience to disintegration in confinement bit.ly/41OWZsB
A delight to start the day with a piece in @scroll_in by @arvindsubraman on Marwa through anecdotes n charming musings. As a Marwaphile, i offer an immortal chanchalya bhaav version: youtu.be/L57EN2IXTwE?feature… by Vasant Deshpande. Recall many silly debates on whose Marwa was better.
A personal musical journey provoked by the excellent Amazon Prime series Bandish Bandits, and in particular the Raga Marwa sung by the great Hindustani classical khayal singer Ustad Amir Khan in @scroll_in: scroll.in/article/1080978/ar…

Researchers from the @iiscbangalore have built organs on chips to simulate cancer metastasis.
They examined how cancer cells respond under conditions of ageing and diabetes, finding that stress enhanced metastatic potential.

Two funded openings in our group (morphogenesisiisc.wixsite.co…) 1. for a project assistant to study drug resistance and multicellularity in cancer and 2. for a postdoctoral fellow to work on biophysical properties of cancer cells. Interested folks please email me at ramray@iisc.ac.in
The @ConfinementLab is hiring! If you are interested in doing a #postdoc at the @MBIsg in science-friendly #Singapore, please reach out! We have a multi-year fully funded position designed to help you meet your career goals in the rapidly growing field of cellular #confinement!
New study: Metabolic disorders seen in conditions like diabetes & ageing hasten cancer spread. But which steps are specifically accelerated remain ill-understood (1/n)
Heartiest congratulations to all the winners! 👏👏👏
I thank @ChemResSocIndia for considering me for the Bronze medal 2025 and recognising our work. The credit goes to my students and collaborators. We feel excited and energised to do even better in the future! 😀
In collaboration with SSR and @gatesfoundation and FIR we are organizing a one week fully funded course on Female contraception 2-6 Dec 2024. Focused to encourage earlier career scientists in Asia this course will be hands on with international faculties
