๐ŸŒŸ Proud Moment for the Lab!
Congratulations to Professor Chandrima Das on being elected Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) at the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
A remarkable recognition of her contributions to science and scholarship.

Warmest congratulations from all of us at the lab.

We are happy to share our most recent study, "Protocol for 3D tumor spheroid generation, immunostaining, and imaging through comparative approaches," which was published in STAR PROTOCOLS. In this study, we established lab-grown methods for generating, harvesting, staining, and analyzing multicellular tumor spheroids generated from different cell lines. Here, we also compared and contrasted different approaches to stain and analyse MCTS depending on the experimental needs.
Many congratulations to Atanu, Sandhik, Bipasa, Indrakshi, and Wasim for successfully steering the project towards completion. Also, many thanks to our PI, Chandrima Das, for her guidance and support.

๐ŸŒŸ Heartiest Congratulations to Prof. Chandrima Das on being elected as a Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy (INSA)! ๐ŸŒŸ

Her pioneering contributions in unraveling the connections between the epigenome, cancer, matrix remodeling, and immune signaling have been truly inspiring. We, her students, are proud to celebrate this prestigious recognition and fortunate to learn under her guidance. ๐Ÿ™Œ

We are happy to share our most recent study, "The Hypoxia-Induced Chromatin Reader ZMYND8 Drives HIF-Dependent Metabolic Rewiring in Breast Cancer," which was published in JBC. In this study, we examined how the epigenetic factor ZMYND8 contributes to the metabolome rewiring of breast cancer. Our finding suggests that epigenetic factors in cancer cells can modulate the tumor microenvironment by modulating the metabolic status of cancer cells.
Many congratulations to Sandhik and Atanu for successfully steering the project towards completion. Congratulations to Indrakshi and Wasim for their contribution to this work.

We are happy to announce our latest publication of Ms. Sinjini Dhang and Mr. Atanu Mondal entitled โ€œMetformin inhibits the histone methyltransferase CARM1 and attenuates H3 histone methylation during gluconeogenesis,โ€ published in the .
The article depicts how the well-known drug metformin inhibits the epigenetic regulator CARM1, leading to a reduction in histone methylation. This process subsequently suppresses gluconeogenic genes, resulting in decreased glucose production in the liver.
We are delighted to share the cover art that has been selected for the publication in the Journal has been created by Atanu Mondal.

Our latest publication in the journal of BBA-Gene Regulatory Mechanism focuses on a very dynamic post-translational modification called ubiquitination, which impacts DNA replication, repair, and transcription. The review elucidates the intricate orchestration of histone ubiquitination impacting diverse cellular functions and disease pathogenesis and provides insights into the current challenges of targeting them for therapeutic interventions.

We congratulate our collaborators Dr. Anirban Dasgupta, Mr. Sayan Gupta, and Prof. Siddhartha Roy, and our pre-doc student Mr. Sandhik Nandi along with Prof. Chandrima Das for the publication.

Cheers to all...!!
