Can the principles of economics explain how cells deal with nutrient shortages? Turns out, they can. Sunil Laxman, Swagata Adhikary, and team recently proved this experimentally! In my first article for IndiaBioscience IBS, I cover research that can make one look at biological systems from a whole new perspective. https://lnkd.in/dv_J9VmA Thanks to Vijay Jayaraman, Ph.D. for his comments, and Ankita Rathore, PhD for her edits.

EMBO Practical Course 'Metabolite & species dynamics in microbial communities' was held at inStem from 13th to 18th October! This annual cross-hub course (inStem Bangalore/EMBL Heidelberg) has participants from diverse backgrounds engaged in talks, discussions, & experiments! After the inaugural talks, the participants started a Kefir culture! They collected #Kefir samples to understand microbial composition and metabolites present in Kefir - the milk based fermented drink - throughout the fermentation process. By Day 3 the Practical Sessions on Metabolomics and Sequencing gained pace - participants discussed the nuances of the techniques. They visited the mass spectrometry facility for demonstrations and set up their own #metabolomics experiments. Day 4 continued in lectures & demonstrations in #metagenomics, Probing interactions & #microbial community dynamics! Day 5 saw a brainy treasure hunt! Participants got mental exercise outside the lab before more chemical biology, #computation & modelling - Inspired them to think out of the box! On the last day, participants on both sides described observations- How the microbial population in Kefir cultures changed over time through metabolomic & genomic data analysis & visualization. A hearty dinner at Bangalore and bye-bye until next time! Sunil Laxman EMBL Events Department of Biotechnology
