Why do circulating ovarian cancer clusters hve #ECM? How do clusters survive confining anatomies? Do clusters show heterogeneity in mechanics? Team led by @TavishiD & @JimpiLangthasa frm @iiscbangalore answer in bit.ly/41OWZsb Ack: @IFCPAR @GoI_MeitY @India_Alliance
Work from groups of @ramrayb & @prosenjit_cens at @iiscbangalore shows that the ECM of ovarian cancer spheroids makes them hollow and elastic, increasing resilience to disintegration in confinement bit.ly/41OWZsB

A delight to start the day with a piece in @scroll_in by @arvindsubraman on Marwa through anecdotes n charming musings. As a Marwaphile, i offer an immortal chanchalya bhaav version: youtu.be/L57EN2IXTwE?fe… by Vasant Deshpande. Recall many silly debates on whose Marwa was better.
A personal musical journey provoked by the excellent Amazon Prime series Bandish Bandits, and in particular the Raga Marwa sung by the great Hindustani classical khayal singer Ustad Amir Khan in @scroll_in: scroll.in/article/108097…
Proud of you @mkjolly15 my friend and comrade!

Excellent work! 🎉 @S_ManasaVeena , @AjayTijore and team!
The first research paper from our 'Mechanobiologics Lab' is out in @NanoLetters. This superb work is led by @S_ManasaVeena and well supported by @nano_jenn and Rudra Pratap, IISc. doi.org/10.1021/acs.na…

Researchers from the @iiscbangalore have built organs on chips to simulate cancer metastasis. They examined how cancer cells respond under conditions of ageing and diabetes, finding that stress enhanced metastatic potential. @RamrayB
If you are in a place where things are mostly conducive, and people are largely supportive, but you still settle for mediocrity, it is completely on you. You can not blame the system for this. Dream big, aim for the sky, and pour your heart and soul into what you are doing🙏😎.
Two funded openings in our group (morphogenesisiisc.wixsite.com/home) 1. for a project assistant to study drug resistance and multicellularity in cancer and 2. for a postdoctoral fellow to work on biophysical properties of cancer cells. Interested folks please email me at [email protected]
The @ConfinementLab is hiring! If you are interested in doing a #postdoc at the @MBIsg in science-friendly #Singapore, please reach out! We have a multi-year fully funded position designed to help you meet your career goals in the rapidly growing field of cellular #confinement!
New study: Metabolic disorders seen in conditions like diabetes & ageing hasten cancer spread. But which steps are specifically accelerated remain ill-understood (1/n)
Glad to have contributed to this work on multi-scale math modeling of EMT in ovarian cancer, led by @Sam_M_Oliver @GibinPowathil @SwanseaUni. Thanks to @ictstifr math oncology meeting, Global Wales-IISc joint research fund for support! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @IiscOir @BE_IISc
Heartiest congratulations to all the winners! 👏👏👏 I thank @ChemResSocIndia for considering me for the Bronze medal 2025 and recognising our work. The credit goes to my students and collaborators. We feel excited and energised to do even better in the future! 😀
CRSI Congratulates the 2025 Medal Winners!
An awesome opportunity for hands on immersion in the upcoming workshop on Female Contraception...
In collaboration with SSR and @gatesfoundation and FIR we are organizing a one week fully funded course on Female contraception 2-6 Dec 2024. Focused to encourage earlier career scientists in Asia this course will be hands on with international faculties ssr.org/events/upcomin…
Thanks to @mkjolly15 and @RamrayB for organizing a nice and engaging meeting Physics of Cells and Tissues 2.0! Very interdisciplinary and insightful.
After an engaging day of discussions on many themes in cellular/tissue-level biophysics, a happy cohort of 100+ participants, before moving to the poster session: @iiscbangalore @RamrayB @BLiSC_India @biopatrika @NCBStheory @felix_rico @pearce_maths @DevBioClub @IndiaBioscience
POCT 2.0 starts! An exciting line-up of modeling and/or experiment talks in active matter, intracellular dynamics, cellular decision-making, mechano-biology. Grateful to @iiscbangalore, @EMBO, Param Hansa Philanthropies @rakeshthejoy, @Nature_NPJ Systems Biology & Applications.
