Dr Diya Binoy Joseph, faculty at iBRIC-inStem has been awarded the DBT-Wellcome Trust India Alliance Early career fellowship to study the “regulation of immune defenses and homeostasis at the urethral barrier
Dr. Diya Binoy Joseph’s laboratory in the Centre for Inflammation and Tissue Homeostasis at inStem studies epithelial defenses employed by the urinary tract in fighting against infections. Lower urinary tract infections caused by pathogenic bacteria, mostly E. coli, pose a significant healthcare burden. The rampant use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multi-drug […]

Dr Kruttika Phalnikar, postdoctoral fellow in Dr Bhavana Muralidharan’s lab in the Brain Development and Disease Mechanism theme at inStem has been awarded the IA Early career fellowship to study the “Role of disease risk variants in chromatin regulators as causative of neuropathological mechanisms in bipolar disorder” Psychiatric illnesses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are […]
Dr. Tina Mukherjee was awarded the IA Senior Research Fellowship
Dr. Tina Mukherjee was awarded the IA Senior Research Fellowship, June 2022 to build a program that explores “Immune cells as mobile sensors of animal physiology” Immune cells, unlike other organs (muscle, pancreas, or the liver), lack sufficient internal nutrient stores. However, these cells are highly energy demanding as they migrate and engage with diverse […]
Dr. Sudarshan Gadadhar was awarded the IA Intermediate Fellowship
Dr. Sudarshan Gadadhar was awarded the IA Intermediate Fellowship, June 2022. His program explores the “Role of tubulin posttranslational modifications in regulating primary cilia functions in wound healing and tissue homeostasis” Mammalian primary cilia control organ functions by being a hub of key cellular signalling pathways. They are also important for proper cell migration and […]

A Non-canonical Role of Dopamine in Blood Progenitor Proliferation and Cell Cycle Control in Drosophila
In Drosophila melanogaster, definitive haematopoiesis takes place in “lymph gland”. It harbours progenitor cells whose development controls the growth and formation of mature blood cells. With respect to its development, neurotransmitters have emerged as regulators of blood-progenitor development and function. In this study, Dr. Tina Mukherjee’s Metabolism and Development (MAD) lab at inStem investigated the […]
