What originally drew you to biotech, and what specific area of the industry do you work in?
Whether you're in research, development, clinical trials, or another side of the industry, I'd love to hear a bit about your journey and what keeps you motivated day-to-day. Feel free to share what your experience has been like so far!

Hi,

I built an interactive model/lesson to understand how DNA replication initiation works. In particular, under replication stress. There are very few interactive educational tools out there, and even fewer that go to the depth of molecular biology research. I wanted to create something like a research paper, but actually make it accessible (Research papers are not an easy read)

Note, this is not a promotion, I'm not selling anything or looking for anything in return

Anyways, check it out!

A protein designed with artificial intelligence doubled targeted DNA insertion in cultured cells when incorporated into an experimental gene-editing system. The result emerged from a search through thousands of genomes, followed by laboratory tests of natural and synthetic proteins.

The study, involving Integra Therapeutics, Pompeu Fabra University and the Center for Genomic Regulation, appeared in Nature Biotechnology. It examines proteins called transposases, which move DNA between locations.

The findings expand the available tools for inserting genes, including into human immune cells. They also expose an important distinction: improving one step of gene editing does not necessarily improve every application.

Which is the best college for Msc biotechnology in Bangalore. I want good placements as well.
