Copper Metabolism Group

4 BS MS and 1 IPhD student graduated from our lab today. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to these bright young minds. Wishing them great success as they embark on their future journey. @Avi_Majumder_ @AdityaABorkar @saha_baivab @DashTisha and @notsharanya @iiserkol

Check out the new findings from our group that delves into the crosstalk between protein domains necessary for trans-Golgi network localisation and trafficking of Cu-ATPases, ATP7A and ATP7B. To explore more, do visit the link below biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @iiserkol #Microscopy

Baivab @saha_baivab, Tisha @DashTisha, Avijit @Avi_Majumder_ & Aditya @AdityaABorkar, four BS-MS students from our lab defended their MS thesis work. Congrats & best wishes to them for their future endeavors. Total 17 students graduated from our lab in past 7 years. @iiserkol

It was truly a pleasure having Prof. Anindya Ghosh Roy @anindyagroy, from National Brain Research Centre, on our campus today. His talk sparked thoughtful conversation, fresh perspectives and inspired all of us. Grateful for the time and knowledge he shared with us. @iiserkol

Celebrating our trafficking legacy : 8 years and counting 🥳 @iiserkol #MembraneTraffickers #Microscopy
