Open day at MCB

This year the Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology (MCB) showcased exciting combination of educational puzzles and quizzes, interactive demonstrations, and descriptive models of complex scientific phenomena, allowing the visitors a peek inside its research domains. The displays were fascinating for the children and adults alike with the reward-based fun games and information on disease relevant research carefully put together. A trip through the world of good and bad microbes will be guided by the teams of K.N. Balaji, Dipshikha Chakraborty, Samay Pande, and Umesh Varshney’s groups. Groups from MCB further demonstrated the inner lives of cells (Subba Rao GangiShetty, Shovamayee Maharana, N. Ravi Sundaresan, and Sachin Kotak), and how it goes awry in cancer (Kumar Somasundaram, Sudha Kumari) and microbial diseases (Saumitra Das, Amit Sungh, and Shashank Tripathi). Naresh Loudya, Utpal Nath, and Usha Vijay Raghavan’s groups showcased how plants organize their cells, organelles, and gene expression to support life within and around them.
