Congratulations to Avishek Kumar, PhD student at the IITB–Monash Research Academy, supervised by Prof. P. Sunthar (IIT Bombay) and Prof. J. Ravi Prakash (Monash University). His groundbreaking research introducing the persistent-worm model for the mesoscopic simulation of wormlike micelles (WLMs) has been featured on the cover of the Journal of Rheology. This work presents a significant advance in

Research led by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has identified hidden blood biomarkers that can flag early warning signs of diabetic kidney disease. The finding, according to researchers, could help in early diagnosis and pave the way for more personalised treatment. India, often called the diabetes capital of the world, has around 101 million adults currently living with the condition

Researchers at IIT Bombay uncover how strain fields produced by embedded inhomogeneities within biomaterials influence cell alignment, reshaping our understanding of cell behaviour in development, disease, and tissue engineering. The research led by Professor Abhijit Majumder, was published in Cell Reports Physical Science. The findings not only add to the fundamental understanding of how cells
