Joanna @ ICGEB

After couple of weeks of moving around extremely hot Delhi and documenting its diverse life I managed to get in touch with ICGEB International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology and the rthythm of my days here changed in a significant way. Last week got many fascinating meetings with scientists from various research groups and these conversations as well as material they showed me definitely influenced my consciousness and provoked further questions about the mater of life.

I based myself at the Dept. of Mammalian Biology: Structural and Computational Biology. I found there really nice and helpful people just mentioning Dr Amit Sharma who is the group leader and Jasmita Gill(research assistant) or Rahna Hora. Their research concentrates on structural principles that govern protein-based bio-molecular interactions with the special focus on malaria.

I already started some animations using the images of cell, proteins and crystals… It is all extremely interesting and inspiring.
