Hey all - slowly but steadily, this community is growing, which is great! However, I think that there are plenty of toxinology young scientists that are not yet here. It would be great, if you could spread this network in your bubble so that we can have as many of us here as possible. Once achieved, we can start thinking about content etc and develop from there :) Cheers Tim Ps. Here goes the paper that @CDawson171, @SLaxme, @DammMaik and I wrote last year discussing the needs and the situation of toxinology ECRs sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Happy to learn that the Union Cabinet, Chaired by Shri @narendramodi, has approved @DBTIndia's ‘BioE3 Policy for Fostering High Performance Biomanufacturing’. Glad that our suggestions as part of Sectoral Expert Committee at @IITIndore served as a reference in formulating this.

I will be presenting the work we did in the last 5 years to decipher the drivers of venom variation and the implications of this variation on snakebite therapy in India.

Thrilled to share that a major chapter of my PhD thesis on the evolutionary ecology of Indian snake venoms is now published, after nearly 5 years of hard work. Immensely grateful to @anaturalist for the trust and support. #Science #Research #PhDLife
Our paper on the evolutionary ecology of Indian snake venoms is published in @BMCBiology. We describe how biotic factors and life history traits (e.g., diet, sex, development) shape the venoms of India's clinically most relevant snakes: the spectacled cobra and Russell's Viper.

Thanks for sharing and the opportunity @DammMaik! I'm excited to be on ITT. Join us to hear about the origins of venom in spiders, tackling cancer with snake venom and more! Thank you @SLaxme for recommending me. #VenomWednesday
#VenomWednesday is back - next week! This time a bit later since we have to cover the travel from Indian spiders to Mexican snakes My guest are 🕷️@naeemtree 🐍 @jorgejimzc And thanks to all the offered help for future talks! Newsletter: docs.google.com/forms/d/1p0u…

Congratulations to my department colleague Kartik Sunagar @anaturalist -- for an important paper on synthesizing an antibody against snake venom. BONUS is that the cover image is our IISc Campus Cobra :-) @iiscbangalore full paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/scit…

Researchers at @CES_IISc and @scrippsresearch have developed an antibody that neutralises a potent neurotoxin produced by highly toxic snakes of Elapidae family, which includes the cobra, king cobra, krait and black mamba. iisc.ac.in/events/synthetic-… #IIScresearch

Trying to support snakebite management, one antibody at a time. One step closer to "universal" antivenom. Check out our paper on development of synthetic human antibody against long-chain neurotoxins published in @ScienceTM @LabVenomics @anaturalist @suyog
This week's new issue of Science Translational Medicine has arrived! A synthetic antibody against deadly snake venoms takes a step toward a "universal" antivenom, a novel antibacterial compound suppresses a dangerous cousin of M. tuberculosis, and more. scim.ag/5Xl

Our paper on the cover of @ScienceTM! What's more, it features my photograph of a cobra from our beautiful @iiscbangalore This is a collab with Jardine lab at @scrippsresearch, @CSRIatLSTM, et al. Takes us 1 step closer to Universal antivenom for treating snakebite @LabVenomics
