Fostering scientific learning through institutional engagement and collaboration.

On 2 June 2026, BRIC-CDFD hosted a group of newly recruited Scientists (B & C) of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) as part of their Field Training Programme, facilitated by ICMR–National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR-NIN), Hyderabad.

The visit provided participants with an opportunity to explore CDFD's advanced research infrastructure, state-of-the-art core facilities, and ongoing research initiatives in genomics, molecular biology, and translational biomedical sciences. Such interactions play a vital role in promoting interdisciplinary learning and strengthening India's research ecosystem.

We thank ICMR and ICMR-NIN for this valuable engagement and look forward to continued collaborations in advancing scientific excellence and public health research.

Congratulations to Mr. Brahmaji Sontyana on the successful defense of his PhD thesis under the guidance of Dr. Sangita Mukhopadhyay, Laboratory of Molecular Biology Group.

His research uncovers novel insights into Mycobacterium tuberculosis immune evasion mechanisms and highlights innovative therapeutic strategies targeting the TLR2–PPE18 interaction to strengthen host anti-TB immunity.

🔬 Key Highlights:
• Repurposing Amodiaquine as a potential anti-TB therapeutic
• Restoring protective Th1 immune responses
• Enhancing antigen presentation & bacterial clearance
• Revealing the role of PPE18 in IgM-to-IgG class switch recombination

This work contributes significantly to the global fight against tuberculosis and advances translational immunology research.

👏 We wish him continued success in his scientific journey!

🧬✨ NEW RESEARCH ALERT ✨🧬

Researchers at BRIC-CDFD have published an exciting new study showcasing how combining Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) with Long-Read Sequencing (LRS) can reveal hidden structural DNA changes missed by traditional methods.

This breakthrough could improve diagnosis and care for:
🔹 Recurrent miscarriages
🔹 Fragile X syndrome
🔹 Intellectual disabilities
🔹 Rare genetic disorders

Advancing the future of precision medicine one discovery at a time 🚀

👏 Congratulations to the entire research team!

Algal Bloom Information Service (ABIS), developed by incoismoes under the Ministry of Earth Sciences Government of India (MoES), provides near real-time monitoring of algal blooms in the Indian seas.

Using advanced satellite data, ABIS detects harmful algal blooms, tracks chlorophyll levels, sea surface temperature, and bloom spread, while issuing WATCH and WARNING alerts for affected regions.

The service supports fisherfolk, fishery managers, and researchers in protecting fisheries, marine ecosystems, and coastal water quality across India’s seas.
