Dr. Kartik Sunagar's (@anaturalist) Evolutionary Venomics Lab at IISc investigates fascinating evolutionary histories of venomous animals and their venoms.

We have done a thing! Check out our new publication in #Science Translational Medicine, which documents the discovery of a broadly neutralising synthetic human monoclonal #antibody for #snake #venom long-chain ⍺-neurotoxin! To the article:
science.org
A broadly neutralizing antibody against snake venom α-neurotoxins rescues mice when administered after lethal venom challenge.
This week's new issue of Science Translational Medicine has arrived! A synthetic antibody against deadly snake venoms takes a step toward a "universal" antivenom, a novel antibacterial compound suppresses a dangerous cousin of M. tuberculosis, and more. https://t.co/98vYOJtCFv

Nice to see that our work is still in news. @LabVenomics
Venom from snake bites leads to more than 100,000 deaths every year. The antidote 95Mat5 worked well against multiple venoms and protected mice from death; the only exception was the king cobras’ venom. Rohini Subrahmanyam writes. https://t.co/e4MIaiHPUb

A synthetic human antibody neutralizes alpha #neurotoxins from deadly snakes such as mambas and kraits in mice—taking a step to a safer, broader #antivenom for snakebites that still kill thousands worldwide. @anaturalist @LabVenomics @scrippsresearch

Prof. Sunagar explains our work, and why it takes us a step closer to an #Universal snake antivenom 👇 https://t.co/QP60it265H
Our paper on the cover of @ScienceTM! What's more, it features my photograph of a cobra from our beautiful @iiscbangalore This is a collab with Jardine lab at @scrippsresearch, @CSRIatLSTM, et al. Takes us 1 step closer to Universal antivenom for treating snakebite @LabVenomics

It was great to see our own, @anaturalist, interviewed on national television, Doordarshan. This was a live call-in program, where he answered questions on venoms, snakebites, and myths associated with snakes. You can watch this program in Kannada here: https://t.co/mBlZ3BUYF1
