We are delighted to share Dr. Rohit, Grants Manager, ORG has been awarded a #RMGrant & #RMTravelBursary by DBT/Wellcome Trust India Alliance.
These awards mark an important milestone in strengthening research management capacity & advancing professional development in India.

New collaborative research from @iiscbangalore maps a vital brainstem-to-thalamus circuit that drives sensory and emotional coping responses to cold pain in mice with neuropathy.
The findings offer fresh targets for managing chronic pain.

Why do some plants become invasive? A new study @iiscbangalore shows that invasive Asteraceae species examined in India can reproduce without a mate, unlike most native species. Two major invaders even evolved self-compatibility after spreading from Mexico

How do diverse frog species coexist in the Western Ghats?
A new study by researchers at CES @IISc shows that competing stream frogs evolve distinct body sizes & select different microhabitats to avoid competition, revealing the power of species sorting.

ORG with CCE @iiscbangalore, successfully conducted the Online Course on Research Grant Writing & Management.
169 participants explored the complete grant lifecycle, from writing competitive proposals to post-award management—through expert sessions & interactive discussions.
Recently concluded Grants Management Internship Program 2025 at the ORG @iiscbangalore, The program provided hands-on exposure to Kanika and Shubham on research grant lifecycle — from identifying funding opportunities & proposal development to post-award grant management.
ALT Congratulations to Ms. Kanika and Dr. Shubham on successfully completing the internship. We wish them every success in their future endeavours!
A leap for next-gen telecom technology! @iiscbangalore researchers engineered lead-free thin films with a mixed-phase state to achieve an ultra-high dielectric tunability of ~91%. Their integration onto silicon marks a huge win for scalable microwave electronics

New @iiscbangalore research in @PNASNews reveals how scale insects remodel their own ovarian cells into "tubes" to transport essential bacteria to their offspring. This unique cellular trick is vital for the insect’s survival & development

How do tardigrades survive extreme heat? @iiscbangalore researchers found that Paramacrobiotus sp. can modulate their thermal conductivity. In their dormant "tun" state, reduced heat transfer protects their internal cells from damage.
