Researchers from Jadavpur University have developed classification-based machine-learning models for toxicity assessment of plastic packaging associated chemicals. These models can efficiently predict the toxicity of chemicals thereby providing a valuable tool for researchers as well as regulatory bodies, overcoming health concerns.
A recent study from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, has identified a new key player among brain regions, the superior colliculus (SC), in guiding skilled forelimb movements.
The Genome India Project—an effort to sequence 10,000 genomes from 83 population groups across the country, represents a turning point in India's transition to precision health. This historic initiative heralds the dawn of a health genomics revolution, but also raises pressing concerns about long-standing disparities in global genomics research, where South Asian populations are grossly underrepresented. As India enters this new frontier, issues of data privacy, informed consent, and community sovereignty are paramount. To fully realise the potential of genomic medicine for all, India needs to establish an inclusive, ethically grounded framework aligned with international benchmarks and culturally responsive governance that prioritises both scientific advancement and social justice.
India's agritech sector shows significant promise, with initiatives like the BeST (Bengaluru Science and Technology) cluster's agritech program leading the way. As new technologies and sustainable practices emerge, the landscape offers vast potential for improving farm productivity, resource efficiency, and farmer incomes.
