A recent study by researchers at Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and Environment (ATREE), in collaboration with the Maharashtra Forest Department, shows that ecological restoration through planting native grasses can increase soil organic carbon by up to 50% in three years. The researchers employed an innovative space-for-time substitution approach for the study.
Indumathi Sathisaran is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioscience and Engineering at National Institute of Technology Calicut.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) have developed a device that can be 3D-printed and can be used to screen drug combinations in oral cancer patients. The design relies on patient-specific stem-like spheroids cultured on a chip. This innovation could help examine how individual patients respond to drugs before treatment begins.
Shyam Kumar Sudhakar is an Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences at the Krea University, Andhra Pradesh. In this eighth article of the Journey Of Young Investigator (JOYI) 2024 series, he shares his career transition from computer science to neuroscience and the importance of interdisciplinary and computational skills in life sciences.
