Thrilled to be attending the International Conference on Toxinology (INTOX) in Madurai! Excited to present my poster on snake venom research and engage with experts in the field. Looking forward to insightful discussions and collaborations! #VenomResearch #INTOX2024

A big shout out to @anaturalist for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this study.

3/Unfortunately, current antivenoms fall short in neutralizing the diverse krait venoms effectively. This highlights an urgent need for improved antivenom solutions that can handle regional venom variability. #Antivenom #PublicHealth

2/We explored venom diversity in common kraits from 8 regions across India. Each population had distinct venom compositions, adding complexity to treating bites effectively. #VenomVariation #SnakeEcology

1/🧵Excited to share our latest research on Common kraits! These snakes cause significant snakebite fatalities in India. We investigated differences in their venoms across the country’s diverse landscapes. #Snakebite #Venomics https://t.co/eFHAnkoKVx

Does #snakevenom have psychoactive properties? How dangerous is consuming snake venom for recreation? @anaturalist explains.

Please make this your must read for the day. A very large published body of research on curcumin, the bioactive compound in turmeric, was performed by an Indian researcher named Bharat Aggarwal. He published around 120 papers on the benefits of curcumin for various cancers,

Although KC bites are rare in India, herpetologists and zoo keepers are usually at risk of accidental bites. Our study recommends producing small batches of KC monovalent antivenom to meet the demand.

In this report, we also measured the toxicity of King cobra in mice models and found that it was equally potent compared to Indian cobra. Indian antivenom and even Thai Red Cross KC-specific monovalent antivenom failed to protect mice injected with Indian KC venom.

We identified different toxins in King cobra venom using the mass spectrometry technique. Similar to other elapids, the majority of toxins belong to the three-finger toxin family responsible for neurotoxic symptoms.

Excited to share my first paper as a Postdoctoral fellow in Dr Kartik Sunagar's Lab @anaturalist @LabVenomics. First report of venomics and antivenomics for Indian King cobra The Royal Armoury: Venomics and antivenomics of king cobra (Ophiophagu...

Happy to share our paper on King Cobra Venoms! The Royal Armoury: Venomics and antivenomics of king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) from the Indian Western Ghats. https://t.co/auP5LfPYOf @LabVenomics

Hello there. I do not want to scare you, but here is something terrifyingly cool that you should know about. But first, we all know that vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants are all important for our health right? And we get exactly that what is required, in the right amounts

Really?? The truth is that, in large part, our poverty was a result of decades of colonial rule which systematically plundered the wealth of an entire subcontinent. Yet the most valuable possession we were robbed of was not the Kohinoor Diamond but our pride & belief in our own

This morning, Spotify, threw up a song called "चार bottle Vodka" into my running playlist from someone called Yo Yo Honey Singh. It is filled with extremely unlikely claims about alcohol consumption. This is a clarification🧵, academic review style
