What can you take away by participating in #YIM2027? The Young Investigators’ Meeting (YIM) is more than a scientific meeting. It is a space to present your research, learn from established scientists, build collaborations, connect with peers, and explore career pathways. In this video, we take a look at what YIM is and what you can learn, experience and build through the meeting. πŸ“YIM 2027 | @IiserMohali & @NABI_India πŸ“… 22–26 February 2027 Apply: tinyurl.com/YIM2027 If you’re an early-career researcher in the life sciences, this is your chance to be part of the YIM community. 🚨Application deadline: 30 September 2026 @DBTIndia @DBS_IISERM @IndiaDST @ANRFIndia @ICMRDELHI @ugc_india @INYAS_INSA

India’s latest large-scale TB vaccine trial, PreVenTB, tested VPM1002 and Immuvac across 18 sites in six states, involving 12,717 household contacts. Both vaccines were found to be safe, but neither showed convincing protection against all TB or pulmonary TB.

VPM1002 did show protection against extrapulmonary TB, with 50.4% efficacy. But the findings also highlight how TB vaccine outcomes can vary across age, nutrition and disease forms. As @MBHRishabh writes, vaccines do not enter β€œempty landscapes”—they enter specific ecologies of risk. What does this mean for India’s TB elimination efforts? Beyond vaccine development, nutrition, living conditions, contact tracing, preventive treatment and stronger public-health systems remain crucial.

We decoded the human genome, but why can't we fix every genetic disease? Because DNA is only the blueprint. To design effective treatments, scientists must see the tiny protein machines built from those genes, and they're far too small for ordinary microscopes. πŸ”— buff.ly/nXJrRIX The original article was published in SciTales by @ccmb_csir - buff.ly/SL7Oaos @CSIR_IND @SomdattaKarak About the image: Cellular landscape cross-section through a eukaryotic cell, by Evan Ingersoll & Gael McGill.

Enter cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). By using electrons instead of light and freezing proteins in vitreous ice, researchers can capture molecular structures at near-atomic resolution, revealing how proteins move, malfunction, and contribute to disease.

From understanding epilepsy to designing precision medicines like Perampanel, cryo-EM is transforming biology by letting scientists photograph life's microscopic machinery, atom by atom. Shantanu S. Visal explains how physics, biology, and engineering come together to reveal the invisible world within our cells.
