While it is unclear if pre-existing antibodies to adenovirus vector will affect vaccine efficacy, it is possible that repeated vaccination using adenovirus-based vaccine either as a booster or as annual vaccination, if the need arises, will result in reduced efficacy due to vector immunity.
Using a custom-built olfactory action meter, which determines how well one can smell, a team led by Dr. Nixon Abraham from the Department of Biology at IISER Pune was able…
IISER Pune researchers have identified novel drug targets to kill multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. They increased the small molecule’s ability to cross the cell barrier and bind to multiple proteins. A…
IISER Pune researchers have converted the highly unstable perovskite into a ultra-stable photocatalyst that can decompose toxic organic pollutants commonly present in water. The photocatalyst was synthesised by encapsulating nanocrystals…
IISER Pune researchers have fabricated a organic-inorganic hybrid diode that shows high electrical conductivity and also high current rectification ratio, comparable with silicon diodes. The high rectification ratio remains unchanged…
MHRD has called for a meeting of all seven IISER directors to discuss the merits of tenure track system and alternative systems for evaluating the performance of new faculty members…
For the first time, a large number (199) of scientists, both senior and young, have signed an appeal to vote against hate politics. The appeal calls for people to vote…
Kingshuk Roy of IISER Pune explains how the novel anode made of silicon-phosphorene mixture for use in Li-ion batteries has five times more capacity than carbon-based electrodes and can be…
