📢 Excited to announce Complex Dynamics in Chemistry, Physics and Biology (CDCPB 2026) 16–18 July 2026 at IIT Jodhpur! Join us for three days of inspiring talks, cutting-edge interdisciplinary research, poster presentations, and networking with leading scientists. #CDCPB2026

Excited to announce the Outreach Session of Complex Dynamics in Chemistry, Physics and Biology (CDCPB 2026) on 18 July 2026 at LHC I at IIT Jodhpur! Join us for inspiring talks and panel discussions with distinguished alumni and industry experts.

Our paper is now out in J. Chem. Phys. doi.org/10.1063/5.0291163. Using Brownian dynamics, we show that a self-avoiding polymer crosses a 2D barrier via a kink/soliton-like mechanism — even with activity on the trans side.

Our study provides insights on the binding interactions of fenugreek phytochemicals towards ASC, a key protein for inflammation, predicting fenugreek as a potential anti-inflammatory agent targeting NLRP3-mediated inflammation! #DrugDiscovery pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Huge congratulations to Samapika for winning the SRAA Poster Award and Graduate Travel Grant at the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, California! 🎉 @BiophysicalSoc

Find our latest publication in JPCL, which explains how non-bilayer lipids induce polymorphism which is resisted by light-harvesting complex II in plant thylakoids relevant for non-photochemical quenching under excess light conditions. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Students who cleared CSIR recently and are interested in Computer Programming and Membrane Protein Biophysics, can apply here iitj.ac.in/academics/misc.ph…. The application deadline has been extended till 25th Oct 2025.

Explore how dynamical heterogeneity emerges in the non-lamellar phase of plant thylakoid membranes through fused topology. Our method identifies the critical correlation length of the chlorophyll-a and lipids for the structural transition of thylakoids. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

On my last working day at Ruhr University Bochum. The substantial commitment of the university to solvation science is truely inspiring. The friendship and support extended by @Jmondal_tifrh and Wasim during my time here have been deeply appreciated!
