Journal Club  &  Alumni Interactions

Scientific paper presentations and discussions are an important part of the undergraduate science training. The Life Science Journal Club was started to encourage undergraduate students to explore and critically analyze peer-reviewed scientific literature in areas of their interest. Students present literature on diverse topics and engage in meaningful scientific dialogue over the contents of the papers that they present.

1. Ms Sundari C (TYBSc)
   Coordinating bacterial cell division with nutrient availability: A role for Glycolysis.

2. Mr Animesh Soni (TYBSc)
   Conjugation and antimicrobial resistance in natural isolates of E. coli.

3. Ms Ishita Parkar (TYBSc)

In-silico characterization and structure-based functional annotation of a hypothetical protein from Campylobacter jejuni involved in propionate catabolism.

The Alumni Connect sessions are a platform for undergraduate and postgraduate students of the fundamental sciences to interact, deduce and probe different possible opportunities available in the fundamental sciences area. The main objective of the Alumni Connect sessions revolves around concatenating the students with inspiring and flourishing alumni in fundamental sciences and providing an open platform for students and alumni to interact with one another.

Academic year 2025-26 began with a connect on 17th July 2025 with Mr Sarthak Ghatkar (Batch of 2023) who guided UG and PG students on 'Cracking the Competitive Exams'.
