Hydrogen Sulphide Gas Suppresses HIV Infection
25 Apr 2022 under Focus
Researchers at IISc and their collaborators have identified a key role played by hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas in suppressing the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Increased H2S was found to have a direct effect on reducing the rate at which the virus multiplies in HIV-infected human immune cells. The finding paves the way for developing a […]

Machine learning can be used to make computers learn like humans. Researchers at IISc are applying its principles in fields as diverse as robotics and law When Google’s AlphaFold burst onto the scene a few years ago with its ability to predict protein structures using only their amino acid sequences, it felt like the dawn […]
Undulating Membranes Meet Light-guided Algae

Prerna Sharma’s research focuses on understanding the nature of soft matter at the interface of biology and physics Membranes and colloids aren’t exactly the first things that come to mind when one thinks of physics. But it took listening to just one talk during her BSc at St Stephen’s College for Prerna Sharma to know […]
