PhDone!🎓As the sun sets on this chapter with my favorite view at IIT Bombay, I'm grateful to everyone who stood by me through this adventure! #Gratitude




6/ A lot of the breakthroughs in bioinformatics came from people who asked simple, smart questions about their data. You don’t need a PhD in AI to make an impact—you need common sense, curiosity, and a solid foundation in basic data skills.
🎉Our preprint illustrates the integration of experimental and computational approaches to study phage combinations for cocktail optimization. @KiranKondabagil
The life history traits of phages in a cocktail determine coinfection dynamics and efficacy biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio
The Bioinformatics Centre, SPPU, is recruiting manpower (Project Associates, JRF, Administrative Assistant) under various projects. Advertisement and application form can be found here: bioinfo.net.in/bioinfo-advt-2… Please retweet for maximum reach.
It's publication day for "Asymptomatic" via @JHUPress. The book explores the paradox of asymptomatic transmission and rationale for proactive steps to confront future pandemics: bit.ly/asymptomatic-j…
Finally, the preprint on my postdoc work from the past 3 years! With mentorship from @PaulTurnerLab and @EmonetLab, I developed a microscopic technique to measure attachment of viruses #phages to bacterial cells @YalePhage @QbioYale . biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
I keep reminding PhD students that THE most important outcome of a PhD is not their publications, conferences, awards etc., but they themselves after this journey. PhD is a learning process in how to learn new things, solve new problems you run into. @VoicesofIndAcad @biopatrika
In slow times, these small encouragements matter. #KeepGoing

What a symphony of wisdom to listen to! ❤️
“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.” Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges. Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her…
Delighted to have heard Paul Turner @PaulTurnerLab at @vom2023, where inspiration came full circle. His 1999 Nature paper on 'Prisoner's Dilemma in an RNA virus' was the very first paper I read in my PhD journey. Grateful for the opportunity! #ResearchInspiration #VOM2023

Our paper on base excision repair pathway characterization in Mimivirus is now online! @JMolBiol @BsbeIitb sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Perks of being a new faculty member @ Department of Biotechnology, IIT Hyderabad. Having your own office is such a special feeling✌️Looking forward for wonderful memories at BT404. Thanks @BTIITH
I am super humbled and happy to share that i was elected for the Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek Award 2022. There are many people that have stood with me tall and strong - my mentor reuven, the entire agami lab and ofcourse other colleagues at @NKI_nl .
Researcher Abhijeet Pataskar has been awarded the AVL award 2022 for his discovery. Using computer models he found a special mechanism by which tumor cells could potentially be recognized in new forms of immunotherapy. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/3w4SU2G
