Mandi, December 20

Dr Baskar Bakthavachalu, a faculty member at Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi, has been selected as a new member to join the EMBO Global Investigator Network.

A spokesperson for the IIT-Mandi said the organisation welcomed eight new members to the network. Young group leaders, who have set up laboratories in Chile, India, Singapore and Taiwan, will receive financial support and access to a range of training and networking activities from January, 2023.

“The EMBO Global Investigator Award is a prestigious recognition for young group leaders working in life sciences. Dr Baskar’s group is interested in understanding the cellular mechanisms in neuro-degenerative diseases,” he added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
