There is a buzz in the campus air at @iiscbangalore especially among us protein engineering aficionados @MBU_IISc. John Jumper will be interacting with students and faculty members pre-lunch. Also will be giving a public talk in the afternoon. It feels like our Lollapalooza!!
In Bengaluru tomorrow, Google DeepMind's John Jumper, will talk about how AI is changing the face of medical research with Alphafold. The future is literally limitless. Be there! @iiscbangalore @NCBS_Bangalore @GoogleDeepMind @nramind #tnqdistinguishedlectures2024

Yesterday attended a beautiful talk by David Julius on how do we sense pain ! On one side, there are patients with congenital insentivity to pain syndromes which are genetic, neuropathies which cause less sensation of pain which are genetic and on other side we have inflammatory disorders which illicit acute or chronic pain. Currently, we stand on the line to develop precise therapies which will give us handles and show us the way to deal with these two spectrums. Thank you @TNQTechnologies

Pain is protective necessary for survival. The primary afferent nerve is an integrator of physical & chemical signals. Pain drugs identified from natural products & folk medicine- pharmacology honed by evolution eg aspirin, opium & THC. David Julius @NobelPrize @TNQTechnologies
