Weight gain is a major problem in people on anti-psychotic medications (eg. for schizophrenia, bipolar or related disorders) All major trials have excluded people on anti-psychotics Semaglutide is the best available agent for weight loss for managing anti-psychotic induced weight gain (AIWG) Semaglutide on an average causes >7kg weight loss over around 6 months of clinical use in them (data from >40,000 patients use). Semaglutide is safe & well tolerated for managing AIWG This weight loss is much lesser as compared to use of semaglutide in "essential obesity" Details at: journals.lww.com/indjem/full… @IndiaESI @Rssdi_official @j_metb @SchizophreniaCa @PsychiatricNews @PsychiatristCNS @PsychTimes @psychiatry_ucam @psycheureka @BipolarUK @teamnovonordisk @novonordisk @novonordiskus @NovoNordiskLive @NovoNordiskIN @ScienceCluster @NovoNordiskSA @SunPharma_Live @LupinGlobal @drreddys @APApsychiatric @JAMAPsych @KingsIoPPN @MedscapePsych @ColumbiaPsych @TheAACE @TheEndoSociety @ICMRDELHI @CSIR_IND

राष्ट्रीय विज्ञान | National Science Day 2026 at Chandigarh University: Igniting Scientific Spirits! Science Cluster celebrated with massive enthusiasm on Feb 27, themed “Women in Science: Catalysing Viksit Bharat” – straight from the Govt of India! Highlights that wowed everyone: - 191 dynamic/static projects & 150 scientific posters - 800 students rocking the quiz competition - 12 energetic teams in theme-based Nukkad Natak - Fun science games & interactive activities for all! Graced by stars like Chief Guest Prof. (Dr.) Dulal Panda (NIPER Director) & Guest of Honour Prof. (Dr.) K.S. Bath (PSCST Joint Director), who inspired research for society's needs. Our Hon’ble VC Prof. (Dr.) Raviraja N. Seetharam & Pro VC Prof. (Dr.) Devinder Singh fired up future scientists on nation-building through science! Plus, an inspiring talk on Bibha Chowdhuri's legacy by Prof. (Dr.) Rajinder Singh (Univ of Oldenburg, Germany & CU Professor Emeritus). Ended with prizes, felicitation of women achievers, and a grand group photo! A true festival of innovation! #NationalScienceDay #WomenInScience #ChandigarhUniversity #ViksitBharat #ScienceCluster

I am incredibly honoured to have presented the new hippocampal organoid model at the Engineering Stem Cells and Stem Cell Niches conference @ScienceCluster. I also thank @HFSP for sponsoring me and this project over the past three years through a long-term fellowship.

Still in awe from the opportunity to participate (&share our work!) at the Novo Nordisk Foundation @ScienceCluster Conference: Genomic Mechanisms of Disease 🧬- lots of excellent scientific interactions with old&new friends, in beautiful Favrholm #GenomicMechanisms25 (pics:C.Als)

Amazing @ScienceCluster conference with great speakers and lively discussion 🤩 Thrilled to share our latest findings from our human cohort study in ATLAS @GenomicsUnit @bmbSDU 🙌

Right now @ScienceCluster Lecture: Science Communication for Greater Research Impact vimeo.com/1061233687

As we celebrate #NationalScienceDay2025, join me with the @ScienceCluster in an enlightening discussion on Technology and Intellectual Property! We shall explore key risks & challenges in IP in relation to Tech and identify effective mitigation strategies as well as best practices for fostering innovation & growth through informed decision-making. To join the conversation use the link: iacberlin.zoom.us/j/65849329…

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending one of the world's leading conference #MetabolismInAction2024. It was a week filled with intense learning, networking, and thought-provoking debates. I extend my gratitude to @ScienceCluster, @Metabolcenter, @fmrpusp @CepidCrid.

Love it! Awesome conference with lots of great speakers. Always a pleasure to visit great friends and colleagues. Well done @JuleenRZierath, @ClemmensenC, @Z_GerhartHines

@JuleenRZierath kicking off this year’s Metabolism in Action conference, where our abstract book is anything but abstract—and bigger than ever! #MetabolismInAction2024 @Metabolcenter @ScienceCluster sciencecluster.dk/event/meta…

🔊Our editor @nakhle_j will be attending the ✨#MetabolismInAction24 ✨conference by @ScienceCluster in Hillerød, Denmark. Reach out to him if you'd like to chat!

Our sister projects and we are looking forwards to your input! What needs should be addressed in your #sciencecluster and community? As EVERSE we aim to collect existing models and adopt & adapt them accordingly to #researchsoftware in each field.

8/This overwhelming dominance & huge success in the obesity field has led of course to exponential growth in the size of obesity drug pipeline. According to @IQVIA_global - in January ‘24 there were 124 obesity agents in different stages of development up to regulatory approval👇

7/This renewed & massive interest in obesity can also be found in the exponential growth of investments made by venture capital firms. According to @Stifel’s 📊 - VC investments are up x10 between 2019 and 2024 - with some investments up quite substantially from previous years.
