Congratulations to Dr. Maroof Athar Hashmi (PhD–MAHE) on successfully defending his PhD thesis
from Prof. @arvinda Ramanathan’s lab at @inStemBLR!
His research identified clinical and metabolic correlates of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) in older
Indian adults. He also developed a rapid, comprehensive, saliva-based metabolomics approach to study the body’s metabolic response to exercise.

Polio-Free India is a remarkable story of collective unity, unwavering resolve and innovation. It demonstrates the transformative power of public health initiatives driven by effective implementation, robust policies and community participation.
Through continued vigilance and routine immunisation efforts, India remains committed to sustaining its polio-free status and contributing to the global goal of eradicating polio.
This World Polio Day, let us carry this resolve forward. Ensure your children are vaccinated on time, support healthcare workers and help ensure that no child is left unvaccinated.

The Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India congratulates Dr. Ashoke Sen, @ictstifr-Infosys Madhava Chair Professor, Bengaluru, on receiving the Oskar Klein Medal for 2026. He is the first Indian physicist to receive this prestigious honour.
Prof. Sen is globally recognised for his pioneering contributions to string theory, particularly his work on S-duality, the precision counting of black hole entropy and string field theory. His research has played a significant role in advancing modern string theory and deepening our understanding of fundamental physics.
Jointly awarded by @Stockholm_Uni and the Nobel Committee for Physics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Oskar Klein Medal recognises distinguished contributions to physics. This recognition adds to Prof. Sen’s distinguished achievements, which include the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics (2012), the Dirac Medal (2014), the Padma Shri (2001) and the Padma Bhushan (2013).

World Polio Day | 24 October
Polio is preventable, and vaccination is key to protecting every child from this life-threatening disease. On World Polio Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every child receives all recommended doses of the polio vaccine.
Through sustained immunisation efforts and collective action, we can protect communities and work towards a polio-free future.
End Polio. Protect Every Child.
