Huge Congratulations to @ayeshanasreen11 from our lab on winning the Best Poster Award at the Indian Zebrafish Investigators Meeting 2026! 🏆
Entire TNV lab is very proud of you, Ayesha! 🎉
#IZIM2026 @IGIBSocial
A key highlight for our lab at #IZIM2026: our PI, Dr. Vivek T. Natarajan, presented his research on neural crest and melanocyte development, highlighting cell fate specification and its relevance to pigmentary disorders using CRISPR and single-cell genomics. @IGIBSocial
The Indian Zebrafish Investigator's Meeting 2026 started on Oct 2, '26 at CSIR-IGIB, New Delhi with a load of engaging exchanges and scientific camaraderie, opening up opportunities of new collaborations in zebrafish research.🐟🔬

Great talk by @mayor_lab about building the quantitative atlas of cell shapes and sizes, and how shape of the cells is consequentual to fate determination during zebrafish development. EMBO Global Lecture at the 6th Indian Zebrafish Investigators Meeting.

How does the brain wire up its ability to see brightness and contrast?
An interesting talk by @filodelbene reveals a core visual circuit in zebrafish and shows that Lrrn cell adhesion molecules are essential for assembling it. EMBO Global Lecture series by Filippo Del Bene at IZIM 2026.

✨Proud to see that Dr. T.N. Vivek, the driving force of our lab, our science, and our pursuit of better questions, featured in CSIR-IGIB’s #MeetThePI series.
🎥To watch his journey: youtu.be/ygwe2YKfcZc?si=WWdA…
#IGIB #vitiligo
In the third episode of the #MeetThePI series, T. N. Vivek shares his journey in science, his career, and the inspirations that led him to choose this path. He talks about what it means to be a true “Make in India” scientist and how he came to focus his research on vitiligo and the genetic mechanisms underlying the disease.

Two days of amazing discussions, science, and networking with colleagues from NIBMG. Looking forward to building strong long-term collaborations between our institutes! @FollowDbtNibmg
@IGIBSocial
We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Hao Chang @Hao_UW from @UWMadison at @IGIBSocial, where he shared his fascinating work on frizzled receptors and hair patterning. Our graduate students also got to present their ongoing work and engange in enriching scientific discussions!
ALT Our graduate student Shwetha presenting her fascinating work on ALS/FTD to Dr. Chang
Our very talented Jeyashri gave her Pre-Thesis Open Colloquium today at @IGIBSocial. It was really fascinating to hear about Rnasek mediated regulation of neural crest fate specification and how her work unfolded over the years. Congratulations @Jeyashri_Rr!!

Hot off the press: As TB continues to demand long and complex treatment regimens, @VivekRaoigib and his team at @IGIBSocial explored the potential of repurposing sertraline, an FDA-approved antidepressant, as an adjunct to standard TB therapy. The study shows that combining sertraline with frontline TB drugs significantly reduces bacterial burden and improves lung pathology,without compromising the drug pharmacokinetics.

Publication alert: A new study reports the genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. MNU76 from Indus River sediment. The strain produces multiple antimicrobials. Genome analysis revealed numerous uncharacterized biosynthetic gene clusters, highlighting the potential of strain MNU76 for discovery of novel bioactive compounds.
