Prof. Shannon Olsson, faculty and chemical ecologist at NCBS, will be honoured in the 2nd edition of the ‘She Is’ book series, which talks about 75 inspiring Women In STEAM from India!

There are numerous moments during our PhD journey when we can’t help but be fascinated by science. We wonder how exciting it could have been if we had seen all these experiments or instruments when we were just starting to learn about science in college.

On the Rare Disease Day, we approached Prof. Raghu Padinjat, Cell biologist, Dean Research, NCBS-TIFR, to learn about his work on using stem cells to understand Lowe Syndrome.

This is about our journey with our son Naithan John Mathew living with a rare disease called Lowe syndrome, or the Oculocerebrorenal syndrome; we call it as Peter Pan syndrome. It is a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by congenital cataracts, hypotonia, intellectual proteinuria.

“One of the most significant events in our distant past is still perhaps the greatest mystery: the origins of life itself.” - Neil Degrasse Tyson
