Today, I’m thrilled have our lab’s work featured on the cover of nature

In this article, we have developed a therapeutic approach for a severe condition called Timothy syndrome. This has been a long journey. It started with making hiPS cell-derived neurons in 2D cultures 15

Genes, environment, epigenetics together underlie neuropsychiatric disorders. Deep dive into triplet repeat disorders in Indian populations. Genes are pleiotropic eg Bipolar patients with an identified gene who also develop dementia. Biju Vishwanath NIMHANS, Bengaluru in #AAICIndia

Delighted to announce our latest work led by my postdoc Kruttika Phalnikar, deciphering early neurodevelopmental abnormalities in Bipolar disorder patient-derived neural organoids out in Oxford Open Neuroscience-

Amazing to see this analysis of women in science in India published - congratulations BiasWatchIndia Vaishnavi Ananthanarayanan (She/Her) Shruti Muralidhar nature.com/articles/s4200…

Vidita Vaidya eLife - the journal Excellent 😃

Flattening some of the in-built hierarchies in scientific publishing - the importance of the eLife - the journal model for the Global South, this could be a game-changer. elifesciences.org/inside-elife/5…

Yes 💯 Most people don't talk about it because of the embarrassment of being rejected & the fear of being viewed as 'trouble' for future employment. Many stories here but I doubt if even a few of our colleagues will get it 🤓🥲😶

And it's a wrap! 2 days of real nerve-storming JNCASR Bangalore: engaging talks, interactive poster sessions and panel discussions, networking during breaks, and loads of laughter. Thank to my amazing co-organizer sheeba vasu for sharing this pilot journey. Hoping to have many more.

Read to learn about the work being done at Rohini Nilekani Centre for Brain and Mind-NIMHANS by Biju Viswanath !

A paper that made a tremendous impact on both the academic and industry human geneticists, that was often cited as a key piece of reference in genetics start-up pitches to investors, that was instrumental behind some big investment decisions was published in Nature Genetics in 2015
