Assistant Professor at IISER TVM. Evolution (multicellularity; phenotypic plasticity; mutational biases; trade-offs). I post here in my personal capacity.
Joined November 2017
I’m delighted to become a part of @bio_iisertvm @tvmiiser! It is an honor to be a faculty member at this institution, and I look forward to growing as a scientist here. I’m truly grateful to my mentors @SutirthDey, @PeterALind, & @joshiamitabhevo for guiding me on this path.
We welcome Dr. Yashraj Chavhan as a new faculty member in the School of Biology. His lab will use experimental evolution to study multicellularity, phenotypic plasticity, and the origin of cell differentiation in asexual microbes. @yashraj_chavhan .

Fascinating!.
A new paper on an issue that has been discussed for more than a century -- how can fundamental biophysical constraints on nutrient transport be overcome to solve one of the most significant challenges associated with the evolution of multicellularity?.
