This study uses a multi-omics approach to understand the global gene expression and metabolite changes induced by Disarib, a novel Bcl2-specific inhibitor in the Ehrlich adenocarcinoma (EAC) breast cancer mouse model and shows that Disarib reduces tumours by reducing oncometabolite and activating apoptosis and downregulating angiogenesis.
Transcriptome data of Moringa concanensis Nimmo (MC) and M. oleifera (MO) have been compared. They are well-known for their abundance of molecules with medicinal properties. In terms of molecular abundance of secondary metabolites, expression of enzymes in the biosynthesis pathway and in vitro glucosidase inhibitory activity, the leaves of MC score higher.
Today, 25th Jan 2023, is a sad day as IBAB mourns the passing of Dr. Suran Nambisan. Suran was associated with IBAB for a decade (from 2010-2020), from his time as a PGD student to his time as a PhD scholar with Prof. Subha. His contributions to IBAB research & teaching were significant.

On July 4, 2022, IBAB was proud to lay the foundation for the Antivenom Research and Development Centre (AVRDC), an initiative funded by the Karnataka Innovative & Technological Society (KITS) of the Department of IT/BT, Government of Karnataka, and developed in collaboration with the Evolutionary Venomics Lab, Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science. The foundation stone was laid by Dr. C.N. Ashwath Narayan, Karnataka Minister for IT-BT and S&T, and IBAB Director, Prof. Hosahalli Subramanya. The 16000 sq. ft AVRDC will house state-of-the-art facilities for snakebite research and also maintain snakes and other venomous creatures like scorpions and spiders etc. collected from different parts of the Indian sub-continent in a world-class serpentarium. Moreover, AVRDC will serve as an incubation space for start-ups pursuing biodiscovery research on venoms. One of the highlights of the centre is its thrust to develop regional antivenoms, including those against venomous creatures that are local to Karnataka.Some other articles covering the event are listed below:
