IIMCB

The institute headed out for the annual IIMCB retreat on 16 and 17 September 2026. The dress code called for costumes, so our group turned up as a full party of wedding guests. It made us easy to spot in a crowd.

Between the social events there was plenty of science. The program brought interesting lectures from groups across the institute, and the poster session gave everyone a chance to see what the others have been working on. Aiswarya and Sebastian both presented posters from the lab.
