Join us @SciGalleryBlr as Sankar breaks down Chirality and how it shaped chemistry & biology, featuring highlights from the recent 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and our work in protein homochirality🧑🔬. Don't miss it! #NobelPrize #ScienceTalk @sankarfr1 @ccmb_csir @CSIR_IND
Lecture | Through the Looking Glass: From Molecules to Life
How did life come to prefer one molecular handedness over its mirror image?
Join biologist Sankaranarayanan Rajan @sankarfr1 for a lecture tracing the evolution of biological systems and molecular chirality, drawing on the work behind the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session.
This InFocus: Nobel 2026 lecture is organised in collaboration with Infosys Science Foundation.
📆 6 November 2026, Friday
⏰ 6pm-7:30pm
📍 Lecture Hall, Science Gallery Bengaluru

The true mark of a great mentor is not the awards they receive, but the impact they have on their students. Sankar's TNQ Mentor Award!!🎉 is well-deserved recognition for his dedication and support.👏 #Inspiration @sankarfr1 @ccmb_csir @CSIR_IND #Proudmentor
🎉Woohoo! Shoutout to @jotingogoi for being named a finalist for the TNQ award! fourth in a row for Sankarlab 🎉👏 Amazing job, way to kick off the year strong for Sblab! #Congrats @TNQLectures @sankarfr1
@ccmb_csir @CSIR_IND
The fourth finalist is @jotingogoi for his paper “A metal ion mediated functional dichotomy
encodes plasticity during translation quality control.”
Sending all the best wishes to @jotingogoi as he embarks on his exciting Postdoc journey @YaleMed !! It's been incredible having you in the lab, We'll miss you big time. Good luck🎉. #Farewell
Cheers to new beginnings!! @ccmb_csir @sankarfr1
With 2025 here leaves @SakshiSham60803, but we couldn't be happier for her, as she moves on to her Postdoc journey 🚀. It's been incredible having you in the lab. We'll miss you big time. Wishing you nothing but success in all your future endeavors!! @ccmb_csir @sankarfr1

New research from @ccmb_csir reveals that tiny mistakes in protein synthesis might actually help cells survive stress!
These "errors" could trigger protective responses and boost adaptability.

We are back again!✌️ Our latest work in @elife reveals the long-lost evolutionary origin of the DAG-PKC signaling pathway regulated by Dip2! Shoutout to the team behind this breakthrough!👏@SakshiSham60803 @SudiptaCCMB @KamatLab_IISER @sankarfr1 @ccmb_csir shorturl.at/cxdKI
2025 kicks off with a great start, this time on synthetases with operational dichotomy, i.e., a metal ion beneficial in one and inhibitor for the other, rooted ~3.5bya. Kudos🎉to the incredible team behind this discovery. @jotingogoi @sankarfr1 @ccmb_csir
