Scientists at the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar, have uncovered the molecular mechanism behind Gram-negative bacteria’s resistance to the drug PC190723, revealing how intra-molecular interactions in proteins, such as salt bridges, prevent the drug from binding effectively.
Researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) Mumbai, have recently elucidated the neurocircuit mechanism of DOI (2,5‑dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine), a serotonergic psychedelic known to reduce anxiety. Their findings pave the way for emerging clinical research and potential therapeutic interventions targeting mental distress caused by anxiety.

What is generative AI? What does ChatGPT do when you give it a ‘prompt’? What are the benefits and limitations of generative AI tools in teaching and learning? How can educators use these tools creatively in their classrooms, while ensuring that their students do not become over-dependent on them? This webinar aimed to address these questions and more.
This webinar spotlighted the life and times of E K Janaki Ammal to explore the role of biographies in placing biological sciences of the early 20th century in its social-historical context. It also invited reflections on the value of situating biology in its social context in its teaching and learning.
IndiaBioscience, along with Saurabh Pradhan, IMBA, Vienna, Austria, and Deepa Subramanyam, NCCS, Pune, have come together to co-host ‘Big Questions, Innovative Approaches’ a series of science talks for PhD researchers, Postdoctoral Fellows and early-career researchers in India.
