6 years of doing what I enjoy the most..Running my own lab! Working on ideas that keep me awake, mentoring young minds & the joy of working in a team! Fulfilling & gratifying ☺️
Celebrating this day & sharing happiness with my lovely bunch!

Drosophila midgut tumor-induced insulin resistance systemically remodels lymph gland hematopoiesis during cancer cachexia https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.24.690188v1

Drosophila midgut tumor-induced insulin resistance systemically remodels lymph gland hematopoiesis during cancer cachexia Cancer cachexia involves systemic metabolic deregulation along with classical features of muscle wasting, lipolysis, and chronic inflammation. While tumor non-autonomous effects on peripheral organs a...

My 1st PhD student, Ujjayita's 1st preprint! We show how the niche-progenitor micro-environment & hematopoiesis is remodelled during tumor induced cachexia conditions in Drosophila!

Thank you to all #EDRC2025 participants and a big applause to the organizing committee for this great #Drosophila meeting! See you all in Bonn for #EDRC2027

Super proud of my PhD student, Ujjayita for a splendid talk in the disease models session at @edrc2025.bsky.social conference in Alicante, Spain. Confident, balanced and well defended! Loved the scientific content of the conference & had a great time! #EDRC2025 #Drosophila

Super excited for the European Drosophila Research Conference 2025 in Alicante, Spain. Going to be 4 days of exciting science and lots of fun! My PhD student, Ujjayita will be giving a talk and I have a poster. Pls do drop by! 😊

Bendless-mediated K63 ubiquitination modulates cellular signalling to regulate Drosophila hematopoiesis Ubiquitination is a reversible modification whose traditional role has been associated with K48-linked poly-ubiquitination involved in proteasomal degradation. However, the role of K63-linked poly-ubi...

Bend it like Bendless!! We are on the Rxiv @biorxiv-devbio.bsky.social this month for our study on the role of K63 ubiquitination in developmental hematopoiesis!! Congrats to the entire team 😊 Wish us luck, y'all :)

Excited to attend a 2 day focussed thematic meeting @ncbsbangalore.bsky.social & inStem, Bangalore on the use of Drosophila for disease biology...a no. of fly researchers from all over India will gather for this meeting! #Drosophila @biopatrika.bsky.social #Drosfordisease

Stunning landscapes & green pastures in the Western Ghats in India during monsoons! Wherever you see, there is beauty 😍
Just incredible!

If you are a researcher whose lab uses FlyBase, consider a tax-deductible personal contribution. A lot of $100 contributions would help bridge the gap until we can set up a user fee system, and even $10 donations send the folks there the message we're behind them. Please share

Looking forward to attending the Indian Drosophila Research Conference (InDRC) at IISER Mohali this December!! We have a stellar line up of speakers....can't wait for all the exciting science and the networking interactions!!

Happy to share our work out now in @embojournal.org @embopress.org in collaboration with Santosh Chauhan's lab at CCMB!
Congratulations to Atharva from the lab 🥳

Programmed cell revival from imminent cell death enhances tissue repair and regeneration | The EMBO Journal imageimageThe ability of cells to recover after the initiation of cell death pathways is only little understood. This study challenges the dogma of irreversible cell death by characterizing a programm...

Delighted to share our latest collaborative work with Santosh Chauhan's group at CCMB, Hyderabad, out now in @embojournal.org
We use the Drosophila hematopoietic progenitors in this study to investigate pro-self-renewal mechanisms!
Congrats to all the authors!
