The Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) Act, 2023, signalled a shift in how research will be supported in India. We spoke with Shivkumar Kalyanaraman (CEO, ANRF) to understand how these changes will shape funding, how we define research impact, and more.
The brain, a biological engineering wonder, depends on a delicately balanced system of cells, signals, and defense barriers to work in harmony. For decades, researchers have studied neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) with a near-exclusive focus on neurons, the brain’s information processors. However, what if the earliest signs of damage occur not within neurons, but in the blood vessels that support and protect them?
Mittali Tyagi, a PhD student at Manav Rachna International Institute of Research & Studies in Faridabad, Haryana, is an environment enthusiast who works towards the promotion of sustainability. Her passion for nature has turned into a strong commitment to addressing environmental challenges and spurring change in the way we interact with the planet. As part of her PhD studies on pathogen-plant interactions, she came across fascinating research on enteric pathogen survival on plants and their implications for food safety—an observation that prompted her to author this article.
