To everything and everyone that teaches and guides us, Happy Teachers’ Day!

Wish you a very Happy Onam!😊

I am looking forward to delivering the Keynote at the AMR Awareness & Innovation Day, jointly organized by Bangalore Bioinnovation Centre (@Innovate_at_BBC) and JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research (@jssaher) on 21st August, 9:30 AM, at JSS Medical College, Mysore.…

Using human fecal microbiota transplants in genetically similar mice, researchers discovered that differences in gut microbial composition, not genes drove variations in motor performance. Deeper analysis of the gastrointestinal tract revealed these two species were enriched in…

For years, the tidy story went like this: a baby’s microbiome is mostly “vertically transmitted” from the mother, and anything else is “horizontal.” Those two labels, lifted from infectious-disease and evolutionary biology were treated as enough to explain where microbes come…

We are diving into the latest microbiome science, from how a father’s gut and semen microbes may shape a child’s health, to the links between impulsivity, diet, and our gut bacteria, to numbers on how much energy our microbes actually give us. Let us unpack the new insights…

Let’s begin the week with curiosity and clarity. The latest scientific findings on antimicrobial resistance are here and they don’t just inform, they urge us to think deeper, act smarter, and stay alert to a crisis that is evolving faster than we realise. @WHO @gardp_amr…

On World Zoonoses Day, I am joining with @SwastiHC and @Precisi0nHealth for a critical conversation on the rising intersection of zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and our rapidly shifting climate conditions. As human-animal interactions intensify, the risks we…

Looking forward to engaging with driven founders and startups, sharing practical strategies to scale with clarity and confidence at @Innovate_at_BBC, Bangalore Bioinnovation Centre’s ELEVATE 2024 Innovators Startups Onboarding Initiative on: “Guidance on Prioritizing Milestones,…

10 million deaths every year. $100 trillion in global losses. That’s the projected impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by 2050 if we don’t act. I recently co-authored a paper, with the Lead Author Dr. SangeetaSharma, that helps strengthen the perspective of this angle:…

Heart failure affects millions globally, while we often focus on the heart itself, this study focuses on the gut. Patients with heart failure have reduced microbial diversity and lower levels of beneficial bacteria like 𝘍𝘢𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘻𝘪𝘪,…

Fighting Superbugs with Scent, Sensors, and AI! What Is Volatilome-Based Microbial Diagnostics? It is a new way to detect infections, by identifying the gases (volatile organic compounds - VOCs) that bacteria naturally release as they grow and metabolise. Just like each person…

60% of 𝘌. 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘪 on Pig Farms Are Now Multidrug-Resistant! In a latest study, scientists have uncovered a strong link between routine prophylactic antibiotic use in pigs and the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) 𝘌. 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘪 posing a threat far beyond the farm. Key…

We have all heard that spending time in nature is good for us. What if the health of the land around us could be directly linked to diseases like type 2 diabetes? There has been growing awareness around allergies and autoimmune diseases being connected to shrinking biodiversity…

In one of the earliest demonstrations of synthetic biology applied to skin health, researchers engineered a 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘴 strain to act as a “detect and destroy” probiotic, specifically targeting 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴,…

Antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) genes are genetic elements that confer resistance to antimicrobial agents. These genes encode molecular tools, such as drug-destroying enzymes, multispecific efflux pumps, and target-altering proteins, that equip diverse microbes to survive and…

A recent 11-year study highlights an emerging concern: linezolid-resistant 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴 (LRSA) in osteoarticular infections (OAIs). Among 2049 isolates, 𝘚. 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴 was the dominant pathogen (39%). MRSA rates fluctuated but remained significant…

Looking forward to being a panelist at the upcoming @BSIIndia Round Table Conference on “Combating Antimicrobial Resistance: A Multi-Stakeholder Approach to Sustainable Pharma.” on 11 June 2025 at Le Meridien, Hyderabad #AntimicrobialResistance (#AMR) is not just a healthcare…
