And that's why one watches Test Cricket !!! Did not think I would see a better draw than the one at Sydney in 2021, but this one at Old Trafford (2025) thanks to 3 terrific "real" Test centuries, in my opinion, is just a little better. Looking forward to the series finale !!!

#authorinterview Dr Karthik Shanbhag @karthikgs24 from Dr. Siddhesh Kamat’s lab @KamatLab_IISER at @IISERPune talks about his work on "Mapping the protein interactome of monoacylglycerol lipids via chemoproteomics" biopatrika.com/academia/resea… via @biopatrika @ahammune
New paper from our lab @IISERPune led by @karthikgs24 & @amolm04, helped by @the_dope_drug, @ArchitDevarajan & Anisha, on developing a bifunctional lipid probe & chemical proteomics on mapping protein ligands for MAG lipids. @Hari_Chakrapani @CommsChem nature.com/articles/s4200…
Yesterday, @aakash0308 & @the_dope_drug from our lab @IISERPune gave a joint fantastic public science talk on the enigma around fats & its role in humans at a @pintofscience @pintsworld event in the Orange Book cafe, Aundh.



Come and join me and @the_dope_drug tomorrow (May 21) at the Orange Book Cafe, Aundh to discover about fats and their fascinating roles in our bodies!! Thank you @KamatLab_IISER for this opportunity and @pintofscienceIN for organizing this amazing event! bit.ly/PoS21May
Happy to be part of this interesting study with @SanjeevSaGa, @SnehaTripathi28 and others from @IISERPune showing a role for statins in treating colorectal cancer, now online @OncotargetJrnl. Best wishes on taking this to the clinic. oncotarget.com/article/28755/…
Thanks to all collaborators, especially @KamatLab_IISER . Link to the article: oncotarget.com/article/28755/… Results of phase II/III human trial evaluating the efficacy of Statins as antitumor therapy in CRC, performed in collaboration with @TataMemorial Mumbai will be published next.
Thanks @ccmb_csir, @InfosysPrize & @SomdattaKarak for organizing a wonderful visit. I had a terrific time discussing science and talking about some of our work from @IISERPune.
Happening today at the PM Bhargava auditorium, 4pm onward - The @InfosysPrize lecture by Siddhesh Kamat. He will speak on lipids, specifically one called lysophosphotidylserine, and its implications on human disease. @CSIR_IND @KamatLab_IISER
Congratulations Team India, great going !!! Fantastic performance at the International Chemistry Olympiad. Great effort @HBCSE_TIFR as always. Also, good to see @IISERPune's @NeerDash, who was an integral part of this year's contingent :)
Big cheers for Team India at the 57th International Chemistry Olympiad 2025 held in Dubai, UAE from July 5–14. India bags 2 Golds and 2 Silvers, securing 6th place in the overall medals tally among 90 countries and 354 participants! Congratulations to the entire team! 1/4
A collaborative paper with Manjula Reddy’s lab @ccmb_csir led by @shambhavi_garde is now online @PNASNews. @aakash0308 from our lab @IISERPune contributed with some LC-MS experiments reported in this study. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Collaborative paper with @rajesh_gokhale's lab @NImmunology led by @RashmiB03 now online at ACS Chemical Biology. Nice LC-MS work done by @ArnabChaks from our lab @IISERPune in identifying various kupyaphore degradation products in this study. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Lab alumni, @SHUBHAM30642626 starts (from Sept 2025) his research group @bcmhouston at the Texas Children Hospital. His lab aims to delineate lysosomal lipid metabolism and diseases associated with their dysfunction. He will be recruiting postdocs soon !!! #proudofalumni

Wonderful to see this pic of @ArnabChaks from our lab @IISERPune receiving the "Xytel Best Ph.D. Thesis Award in Biology" for the year 2025 at the convocation ceremony yesterday from @shekhar_mande in the presence of @rameshmashelkar

Congratulations @karthikgs24, @ArnabChaks & @Kundan703 (in spirit) on receiving your Ph.D. degree today !!! Congratulations @ArnabChaks on receiving the "Best Ph.D. Thesis Award in Biology" !!! Best wishes to all those from @IISERPune who also received their degrees today.

Congratulations @JyotsnaSingh494 from our lab @IISERPune on receiving the Best Poster prize at the “Organellar communication in health and disease” meeting organized by @CellPressNews. Thanks @EMBO @EMBO_YIP for funding this for Jyotsna.

Thanks @imVkohli & @ImRo45 for your immense contributions to the Indian Test team. Marks the end of a wonderful batsmanship era. As a die hard follower of Indian cricket, I really hope that the 2027 WC is your swansong. You both truly deserve it 😊

Spot on @Amul_Coop. Proud to be an Indian, and particularly every single personnel of our armed forces @adgpi @IAF_MCC and @IndiannavyMedia. Thank you for all the sacrifices you make/are making for the nation 🙏 Jai Hind 🙏
