WE ARE COMMITED TO

Continuing with the IBAB Research Seminar Series, Prof. Piergiorgio Stevanato of DAFNAE, University of Padova, Italy, spoke about his work on “Biotechnology applications in Sugar beets”. Starting with a historical perspective of how sea beets gained importance as commercial crops in Italy, Prof. Stevanato highlighted his group’s recent work on the genomics of sugar beets. It was an engaging seminar!

IBAB is in the news! The collaborative population genomics effort of IBAB and the Tata Institute of Genetics and Society, India, was recently highlighted by several news channels, including The Hindu. This is in reference to the research article “A Near-Chromosome Level Genome Assembly of Anopheles stephensi“, published by IBAB faculty member Dr. Subhashini Srinivasan’s group in the journal Frontiers in Genetics.

At the 61st AMI-INSCR Annual International Conference, IBAB faculty fellow Dr. Gaurav Sharma was awarded the “AMI Best Oral Presentation by Faculty” for his talk titled, “Exploring the diversity and evolution of chemosensory and flagellar systems amongst family Vibrionaceae”.
