Specifically, the BPS microdevices can be used for generating "convalescent plasma" - a technique that has been employed by China in this outbreak, and USA is seriously consider to apply (Ref: Nature). The PRP microdevice can help gauge the severity of Covid infection. Further these devices can be integrated to form test kit for detection of Covid. 11 Dinesh Jagadeesan IIT Palakkad Materials chemistry, No catalysis 12 Chirasree Department of affordable diagnostics One of the co-ordinators of RoyChaudhuri Electronics and MHRD-ICMR sponsored Telecommunicatio IMPRINT project on Point n Engg., Center of Care Diagnostics( for Healthcare currently memberof INYAS) Science and Technology, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur 13 Pooja Devi CSIR-Central Water, Materials, NA Scientific Sensors, Energy Instruments Organisation 14 Jaya Sivaswami All India Institute Molecular biology, Tyagi of Medical Tuberculosis, Sciences Diagnostics 15 Rita Mulherkar Hon.

  • Touching New Heights Editor’S Note
    ENSEMBLEENSEMBLE Volume 4 (1) | January – February 2016 Newsletter of the Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research India-France Relations Touching New Heights editor’s note Dear Readers, India and France are witnessing the emergence of a new era of collaborative efforts between the two countries in various sectors. In November/December 2015, France hosted a successful global scale diplomatic event for adopting an agreement by many countries on climate change where India was also an active participant. After the visit of Honourable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi to France in April 2015, the French President H. E. Dr. Mukesh Kumar Mr. François Hollande visited India in January, 2016 as a Chief Guest on the Director, CEFIPRA occasion of 67th Republic Day of India. During his visit, Indian and French scientific as well as technological communities from academia and industry sectors, joined hands through several Agreements/MoUs signed by the two countries. CEFIPRA had the privilege of hosting the officials / signatories of three of such Agreements/MoU signed on 25 January 2016. CEFIPRA, since its evolution as a unique institutional platform and collaborative mechanism, is contributing through its various interventions in a diverse range of S&T domains. These collaborative efforts are making it possible to generate significant knowledge that has a potential to translate discovery science into solution science. I sincerely wish that all these MoUs will create new pathways to further strengthen the Indo-French collaborative research efforts. inside Editor-in-Chief Dr. Mukesh Kumar ii | editor’s note GD Birla Award x | Director, CEFIPRA Dr.

  • Topical Collection on Chromatin Biology and Epigenetics
    J Biosci (2020)45:1 Ó Indian Academy of Sciences DOI: 10.1007/s12038-019-9988-x (0123456789().,-volV)(0123456789().,-volV) Editorial Topical collection on Chromatin Biology and Epigenetics At an Indo–US conference held in Bengaluru in 2018, we were discussing the many opportunities for collabo- rations between scientists in the US and India. We realized that having a regular meeting in India akin to a Gordon conference would provide the continuity to foster such collaborations and also enable experimental workshops and courses analogous to those at Woodshole and CSHL, USA. As a first step, a hands-on laboratory based course on ‘Phase Separation in Genome Organization’ was conducted by Geeta during July-August 2019 at IISER Pune. This course was attended by 15 participants that included PhD students and postdoctoral fellows from various institutions in India. As another step we felt it would be useful to put together a special issue of the Journal of Biosciences centered around the theme of Chromatin Biology and Epigenetic Regulation. The Editors of the journal enthusiastically supported this initiative. Our aim was to assemble a collection that consisted of topical reviews by leaders in the field as well as reports of original research or analysis. This issue represents the results of these efforts and includes contributions primarily from scientists in US and India. Below we provide a brief preview of the collection. Among the diverse modes of transcriptional regulation, regulation dictated by chromatin organisation is immensely critical, albeit insufficiently understood. The reorganisation of chromatin in three dimensional space inside a eukaryotic nucleus can allow discrete regulatory regions of the genome to make or break contacts leading to formation of transient regulatory hubs wherein supramolecular complexes can assemble and regulate gene expression patterns.
