Institute for Stem Cell Science & Regenerative Medicine is an autonomous research body dedicated to collaborative research in stem cell & regenerative biology.
The Hon'ble Union Minister @DrJitendraSingh's visit to @DBT_inStem will be live on our website: instem.res.in/live from 1:15 PM onwards! @DBTIndia @BricDbt7510 @InamdarManeesha

Did you know corals have friendly bacteria too? 🌊🪸 Sulfitobacter faviae is one such helper—living in coral mucus, thriving in salty seas, and possibly helping recycle nutrients like sulfur. Found in the Andaman Sea and isolated by @bric_ils, it's a tiny partner in keeping…
Dept of Biotechnology held a Chintan Shivir with iBRIC+ Directors, BIRAC & BRIC teams to discuss strategic initiatives. A special session focused on shaping a 5-year vision to define thematic niches for each institute & drive futuristic research in biosciences. #BRIC #iBRIC+
Muscles are not just about strength — they are the key to healthy ageing. @DBT_inStem's Dr. Arvind Ramanathan (@curiousraman) calls for muscle-centric strategy to boost wellbeing, promote timely interventions and reduce healthcare costs, in a @NatureInd commentary. Read here:…
The Summer Research Fellowship (#SuRF) 2025 programme at @DBT_inStem has officially concluded. Over the past weeks, 12 SuRF interns engaged in diverse research activities across multiple labs, gaining exposure to interdisciplinary scientific work. They showcased their work and…



The 8th Hands-on Workshop on “Integrated Omics” (Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics) was successfully organized at @DBT_inStem in collaboration with @NCBS_Bangalore from 14 to 18 July 2025. We were joined by 25 participants from academia and industry, from all over India.…




Ever heard of bacteria that live with corals? 🪸🌊 Meet Psychrobacter pocilloporae—a tiny marine microbe isolated by @bric_ils from the coral Pocillopora eydouxi in the Andaman Sea. It thrives in salty seas, handles a wide range of temperatures (even cold!), and may help corals…
The findings of the study enhanced mobile-phone-based point-of care testing (POCT) diagnostics in clinical settings, enabling health care professionals and nonexperts to make rapid and accurate decisions. Read more: doi.org/10.1021/acssen… #UTI #research #testing #Clinicaltrial…
🌊 Meet Salinicola acroporae — a salt-tolerant, motile marine bacterium isolated by @bric_ils from coral mucus in the Andaman Sea. Distinct in DNA, lipids, & phylogeny, it adds a novel branch to the genus Salinicola. 🔬 A tribute to coral microbiome diversity! #ODOG #Genomics…
🌍 Water is life—let’s save every drop before it’s too late. 💧 India’s water demand could outpace supply by 2030—by 2×! This growing gap threatens millions of lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems. Without urgent action, severe water scarcity could become a reality for hundreds…
Meet Vibrio fortis—a Gram‑negative marine bacterium isolated by @bric_ils from mucus of the coral Fungia echinata collected from Andaman Sea. This bacterium harboring genes associated with protocatechuate and azathioprine degradation and sulfur‑reduction pathways. A reminder of…
Enterobacter roggenkampii is a species of Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria. The Functional Genomics Lab at @THSTIFaridabad team carried out the whole genome sequence of this species isolated from a North India wastewater source. The results indicate presence of ESBL genes that…
As part of the i3c BRIC-RCB PhD program in #Biosciences admission process, all the networking projects are being presented at @unescorcb from 16-18 July for the i3c BRIC-RCB PhD candidates to choose. Dr .@rajesh_gokhale highlighted the distinguished features of the i3c BRIC-RCB…
New insights on Aeromonas dhakensis from Indian sewage water! The genomic analysis done by the Functional Genomics Lab at @THSTIFaridabad reveals multi-drug resistance genes, highlighting its potential as a silent invader from water to ward. Critical for public health! Monitoring…
.@DBT_inStem was buzzing with young energy today! We were glad to host a group of students from National Public School-ITPL (@npsitpl) on campus for an exciting day of science exploration and discovery. Always a joy to spark curiosity and share the wonders of research with future…




From the farm wells of Maharashtra to the genome maps of @DBT_NCCS_Pune Ureibacillus aquaedulcis is a novel freshwater bacterium with biosynthetic gene clusters for antimicrobials. Its 3.92 Mb genome (JAUHTQ01) redefines genus boundaries and holds industrial biotech. #ODOG…
Proud to see the fantastic work being done by Dr. Diya Binoy Joseph’s lab covered in the #InterorganCommunicationResearch series by @India_Alliance. The Diya lab at @DBT_inStem focuses on epithelial homeostasis and innate immune defences in the genitourinary tract, you can read…
Read the third article of our #InterorganCommunicationResearch Series featuring Dr. Diya Binoy Joseph: tinyurl.com/3b5rm7wc Her lab studies how urethral epithelial and immune cells interact to build local defences and shape infection resilience.
Sesame phyllody phytoplasma (strain SS02) cripples India’s sesame crops. From New Delhi fields to @DBT_NCCS_Pune labs, its 553 kb genome (465 CDS; JAHBAJ01) reveals virulence genes and stress survival tools. Collaborative effort to decode a yield-killing pathogen. #ODOG…
