Plant Cell Wall meeting 2025 is going to happen in Vancouver 🇨🇦 and organized by my awesome colleagues Lacey Samuels, Shawn Mansfield, and George Haughn. Abstract submission is going to close on March 31, 2025. plantcellwallmeeting2025.ca
Participated in and moderated a panel discussion on "Women in Science" at RCB's Annual Scientific Retreat on International Women's Day. We discussed gender stereotypes and biases, and how we can empower women to achieve their full potential. @unescorcb
RCB @unescorcb along with Editage @Editage organised 3-day interactive manuscript writing workshop for our students. I hope it will help them for effective story telling.



We organised a three-day #ManuscriptWriting #workshop from 5 - 7 March 2025 for our research scholars in collaboration with Editage. Dr Sunaina Singh and Dr Vihang Ghalsasi - the experts -introduced the basics of scientific writing through extensive exercises and discussions.
Electrifying Science Day at RCB where all labs explained their research in fun ways through quizzes, puzzles, games, demonstration to create curiosity amongst youngsters. My lab represented why and what we do to study plant cell wall @unescorcb



The #PGDIB students got hands-on training in recombinant protein purification in the latest practical module of the programme. They learnt upstream processing, which is an essential microbial technique that lays the foundation for #IndustrialBiotechnology. #PGdiploma #UnescoRCB
#PGDIB Advancing Molecular Insights with Cutting-Edge Analysis! 🧬 The #PGdiploma in #IndustrialBiotechnology continues to elevate hands-on expertise. In the final week of its foundational module, students explored advanced molecular analysis techniques.
I am glad to share this new preprint from the lab biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. This is an excellent effort by @LaviRastogi9
Latest preprint from my PhD thesis work where we explored the transcriptional role of MYB46 in polysaccharide acetylation regulation. Thanks to @prashant_pawar for all the guidance.
