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…
Rhizobium sp. Nf11,1 is isolated from the root nodule of local legume from Bishnupur district, Manipur. The organism has a potent nitrogen fixing ability and grows actively in nitrogen free medium and could detect the presence of nif gene. This strain can be used as a potential…
On the 19th Foundation Day of the Ministry of Earth Sciences #MoES Launching of the @IndiaMetDept based Documentary, “Life Saving Impact"… showcasing transformative efforts that promise to protect lives and resources as also build a climate-resilient India. #19YearsOfMoES
We were delighted to host students from @AiimsKalyani at @FollowDbtNibmg They explored our labs, Genome Hall & attended a lecture on genomics in healthcare. Huge thanks to our amazing volunteers who made the visit a success! #Outreach #FutureDoctors #BRIC_NIBMG
🎓Big congratulations to Dr. Debarati Guha Roy on earning her PhD under Dr. Sreedhar Chinnaswamy at @FollowDbtNibmg Thesis: “Interferon Lambda 4 and Antiviral Responses in Healthy Individuals” Her work shows how IFNL4 impacts antiviral immunity differently in males & females.
भारतीय मज़दूर संघ के प्रतिनिधि मंडल ने #Parliament में मुलाक़ात कर अलग-अलग विभागों से संबंधित भिन्न-भिन्न विषयों पर विस्तृत चर्चा की।
@DBT_IBSD has sequenced the whole genome of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MP11A, NCBI genome accession number: (JAXCIR000000000) a lactic acid bacterium isolated from traditional curd of Manipur. This strain has antibiofilm and antibacterial potential against ESKAPE pathogens.…

Proud moment ! The iBRIC+ network, India’s largest coalition of elite bio-research institutions, has been ranked #1 in Biological Sciences #3 in Medical Sciences by the Nature Index! Kudos to @DBTIndia , @BricDbt & all the scientists, researchers & staff #iBRIC #BRIC_NIBMG
A roadside panoramic view of #ShahpurKandi National project on river #Ravi…the project stalled by earlier governments, revived by PM @narendramodi … enabling utilisation of ‘Indus Water Treaty’ share of India’s water that, by default, kept flowing into Pakistan for over half a…
Amazing clarity, confidence and concept with which the Gen Z puts across its point of view. Interaction with school children participating in “One Day as a Scientist” event, organised as a part of #CSIR #Jigyasa, ended up in a “pleasant” rebound…at the end of the day, it was…
👶 A rare zoonotic TB case: Mycobacterium bovis—a cattle TB bacterium—was found in a 4‑month‑old male patient diagnosed with axillary lymphadenitis in Odisha, India. Isolated and sequenced by team @bric_ils, the strain was found to be resistant to pyrazinamide. This case…
🚱 Why Are Our Wells Drying Up? India’s water reserves are under pressure — growing cities, polluted waterways, overused farmlands, and unpredictable rainfall are all taking a toll. Let’s protect what’s left. Conserve water today. #ConserveWater #SustainableIndia…
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…
Inspired by PM @narendramodi’s Mann Ki Baat, the #OneDayAsAScientist initiative by #CSIR–Jigyasa gives students a chance to experience the life of a scientist firsthand. Students: ✔ Visit CSIR labs ✔ Interact with scientists ✔ Witness live experiments ✔ Learn how science…
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…
UPSC’s ‘PRATIBHA Setu’ initiative, the first of its kind, facilitating alternative job avenues for Civil Services aspirants, is meeting with huge success. PRATIBHA stands for "Professional Resource And Talent Integration" and Setu stands for "bridge". It is emerging as a…
