We are organizing a 7-day EMBO sponsored international workshop at the Indian Institute of Science (April 26-May 03, 2026). "AI-driven approaches in Structural Biology". Link: lnkd.in/gSGASks8. Please retweet. Looking forward to seeing some of you in Bangalore!

Tis' the season to teach again!! After a good meandering summer. Our Autumn semester (we call it August semester at @IISc Bangalore) starts tomorrow. I am excited as my advanced sampling course starts Monday! The campus is bubbling with fresh faces too, which is always invigorating.
A double header this week at the Molecular Biophysics Unit, IISc Bangalore!! Two PhD colloquium from our group this week! Irawati on Wednesday and Harini on Thursday. Very proud of these two finishing up their PhD with really good work during their PhD training time.
Molecular Biophysics Unit at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore is organizing a 2-day symposium (Apr 28-29) with "AI in biophysics" as its theme. You are cordially invited to attend this meeting!! Visit our (in progress) symposium portal for more details. sites.google.com/view/ai-in-b...
Srivastava lab have had some nice news this week. First, Harini's work on Glassy Dynamics in Biological Membrane got accepted in Journal of Chemical Physics!! We treated ourselves with Milano Icecream and Waffles on the 80 ft road.
Vivek Sharma (April), Jana Shen (May) and Caroline Lynn Kamerlin (June) follow Alex after March for this series. sites.google.com/view/mbu-inf...
We are excited to have @alexmackerell.bsky.social this month for our Integrative Modeling in Biophysics e-series!! It’s all about polarizable force field next week. #drude Tues March 11, 5:30 PM IST (2:00 CEST, 7:00 AM USET) For details about this series, visit: sites.google.com/view/mbu-inf...

Srivastava Lab is all set for the Indian Biophysical Society meet. We are presenting 10 posters and 1 student talk. I shall be chairing a session on "Biophysics Across Length Scales" on the 2nd day. We are stoked and looking forward to the interactions!! pbl.biotech.iitm.ac.in/IBS/Home.html
Excited to share what I’ve been working on with @tkaraletsos.bsky.social to transform the field of drug discovery with atomistic foundation simulation models! I could not be more thrilled to be working with this dream team. achira.ai
NEW: Achira has launched with a $33M seed round I talked with CEO @jchodera.bsky.social about plans to combine AI- and physics-based methods for drug discovery and moving beyond 45 years of the same type of models behind molecular dynamics. My latest @endpts.com: endpts.com/achira-raise...
Interested in #RNA modelling across multiple scales? Join us for the @cecamevents.bsky.social meeting at SISSA, Trieste, May 19-22! www.cecam.org/workshop-det... We still have slots for contributed talks. Deadline March 23. Co-organized with @magistratolab.bsky.social and @marcodevivo.bsky.social
