I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone as embark on my next adventure as a Postdoc fellow at @YaleMed and mark the end of the most exciting and transformative chapter of my academic journey, and life, at @Sankar_Lab and @ccmb_csir
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

Engineering polymerases to synthesize alternative genetic polymers remains a challenge. Using DNA shuffling and droplet microfluidics, this study provides a short evolutionary path from a DNA polymerase to one with robust RNA-synthesizing activity

Honoured and truly humbled to receive the AcSIR Best PhD Thesis Award. My heartfelt thanks to my PhD guide @sankarfr1 for shaping my journey and to @ccmb_csir for being my scientific home. This recognition belongs as much to them as it does to me. Forever grateful. 🙏😇
Huge kudos to @Pradeepkumar_2 for being recognized with the AcSIR Best Thesis Award!! 🌟 You're crushing it! #awardwinner @ccmb_csir @CSIR_IND @AcSIR_India @sankarfr1

Do lipids carry the signatures of evolution?🤔
In #Biochemistry Perspective, We 'provocatively' (as my former PhD guide & scientific guru @sankarfr1 put it ) propose an expanded view of the classic “lipid divide” idea
feedback/critiques all welcome🙌 #lipidtime @ccmb_csir
The lipid divide is more complex than we ever imagined! Discover how this process is a continuum evolving into eukaryotic life in our exciting new perspective in Biochemistry!!

In this perspective article by @DrSankarCCMB and colleagues expand on the Lipid Divide Hypothesis to point at not one but multiple lipid divide events in eukaryotic evolution: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
But what is this hypothesis?
Read on.

Most proteins are left-handed, but scientists have found an ancient molecule that works in both mirror-image forms

A new study from @CCMB_CSIR published in Nature Communications, reveals how two enzymes—AlaRS-Ed and ThrRS-Ed—help cells strike a balance between precision and adaptability during protein synthesis.
This remarkable molecular switch dates back ~3.5 billion years, underscoring its evolutionary importance. This natural proofreading mechanism is key to how life has endured Earth’s changing conditions.
