Saurja DasGupta

New from the #DasGuptaLab @NDscience! Dr. Annyesha Biswas built fluorescent sensors with RNA that glow green (or red) only in the presence of lead, with limits of detection <1 ppb. Sensors are easy-to-use and fast-acting. Device integration coming soon. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

The @ArghaManna and I will speak at @pintofscienceUS on May 20. Join us at the @chicorycafe1 to learn how we are studying Life’s origins through science and the visual arts. Doors at 6:30 pm. Thanks to @K8theChemist and @NDscience for leading the charge. pintofscience.us/event/lifes-sp…

Overjoyed to share my love for RNA and the Origins of Life with the creators of tomorrow. When your science comics ignites the curiosity and creativity of young minds, you know you have succeeded as a science communicator. Upwards @ArghaManna!

Workers of the #RNAWorld unite in a @SzostakLab reunion at the GRC on Nucleosides, Nucleotides, and Oligonucleotides. Current and past students and postdocs in one frame just before the rain.

Thanks to ⁦@NotreDameGlobal⁩ for sponsoring my scicomm summer with ⁦@ArghaManna⁩ that ended with the launch of our Sci-Art exhibition and the release of two zines on the Origins of Life. Thanks to ⁦⁦@NDscience⁩ for support. Read on. global.nd.edu/news-stories/n…

Happy 4th of July from #DasGuptaLab! We’re lighting up the sky with RNA fireworks and G-quartet fireflies to celebrate our upcoming publication!

Great opportunity to work on frontier problems in RNA science in a young and supportive group led by @BMorgan_Chemist. Please consider applying, if you’re looking for some research experience. The position is for a Research Technician. jobs.smartrecruiters.com/UniversityOfNo…

Look out for a superstar!

With Stanley Miller’s famous toy that made Origins of Life an experimental science! This apparatus now resides in Urey Hall at @UCSD. (See how happy I look!)

The #DasGuptaLab Summer Dinner. We said bye to ⁦@NotreDameGlobal⁩ Guest Artist and our collaborator ⁦@ArghaManna⁩. Exciting results coming out from the lab soon.

Summer is here at the #DasGuptaLab

'A Pilgrimage to Life's Beginning' - an exhibition told in two graphic novels, where an artist and scientist ponder how life was born. @NotreDameGlobal Guest Artist from @iitgn, @ArghaManna created magic with the science I threw at him. We also launched two zines.

Happening in less than an hour! Science comics exhibition on the Origins of Life at the Jordan Hall of Science at @NotreDame. The last science communication event for this summer with @ArghaManna before he heads back to @iitgn.

What wonderful gifts by my people! The dark shadow of Poe has descended on the #DasGuptaLab

Science Comics Workshop at ⁦@NotreDame⁩ led by ⁦@NotreDameGlobal⁩ Guest Artist ⁦@ArghaManna⁩. >20 participants from 6 different departments/graduate programs, including 6 members of the #DasGuptaLab, reimagine how to ‘talk’ science through art.

We welcome you to our exhibition, where we explore Life’s beginnings through scientific discoveries and graphic novels. This collaboration with @ArghaManna (@iitgn) is supported by @NotreDameGlobal and @NDscience. See you at the Jordan Galleria at @NotreDame on June 6 from 5 pm.

Wonderful time discussing ways to communicate science and the role of art in science communication with ⁦⁦bright young minds ⁦@Caltech⁩. Come to ⁦@ArghaManna⁩ and my exhibition on the Origins of Life⁩ at @NotreDame on June 6 (Jordan Galleria, 5-9 pm).

More than a decade ago, I started my journey in RNA science with a poster at the @RNASociety meeting. It feels great to have research from my own lab (#DasGuptaLab) at @NDScience presented at #RNA2025 by my postdoc Annyesha! Many more to come…

I’ll join @ArghaManna (@iitgn) and @dangoods (@NASAJPL) at Caltech on June 3 (Noon) to discuss how visual art can tell scientific stories. Argha and I will also share panels from our graphic novel project on the origins of life. Come by if you're around! caltechy.org/programs/sass-…

Possibly the first comics poster in 30 years of the @RNASociety Meeting. Exploring the history of the RNA World with artwork from my collaborator @ArghaManna. Work funded by @NotreDameGlobal and @NDscience .
