Bats of the central Himalayas rely on caves for survival, shifting habitats with seasons to hibernate or raise young. A recent study from National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bengaluru reveals how climate change and human activity threaten these vital refuges, underscoring the need for targeted, seasonal conservation to safeguard both bats and ecosystems.
A recent study highlights how genetic changes in epigenetic regulator genes shape immune responses in bladder cancer, potentially guiding more personalised therapies.

In the rise of antimicrobial resistance among pathogens and infectious diseases, vaccines are a potent global health solution. Vaccines mimic the pathogens to train the immune system. The training allows the immune system to be quickly activated in the event of a real infection by the pathogen. Notable recent examples are vaccines against COVID-19, a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 viral infection. While this was one of the greatest achievements in the history of vaccine development, the quest for vaccines against many pathogens has been challenging, resulting in little success. Why has that been the case? I will take you through one such example that I study; the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria.

What is generative AI? What does ChatGPT do when you give it a ‘prompt’? What are the benefits and limitations of generative AI tools in teaching and learning? How can educators use these tools creatively in their classrooms, while ensuring that their students do not become over-dependent on them? This webinar aimed to address these questions and more.
This webinar spotlighted the life and times of E K Janaki Ammal to explore the role of biographies in placing biological sciences of the early 20th century in its social-historical context. It also invited reflections on the value of situating biology in its social context in its teaching and learning.
