Beyond the lab bench, Pranab loves capturing the world through his camera lens and stays active on the badminton court. Whether it’s chasing the perfect shot or a shuttlecock, he brings the same energy and curiosity that fuel his science!

Molecular & Clinical Cancer Medicine (MCCM) @livunicancer.bsky.social · 13d

Using both Drosophila & mammalian embryonic stem cells (ESCs), Pranab has been uncovering the hidden rules of cell competition.

Now, he’s combining these experiences to explore how Dpp (BMP) signalling might drive tumour growth, with the bigger aim of understanding cancer at its roots.
