Grateful for the warm welcome @tifrhyderabad.bsky.social :) Thrilled to be part of this vibrant scientific community and eager to build an exciting research program!

Thank you, Yamuna! :)

Thank you, Shiv! Means a lot coming from you!

So proud of you, @sahanaholla! Watching your journey has been such a joy. Wishing you all the best as you begin this exciting new chapter at TIFRH. They’re lucky to have you!

The Holla Lab is hiring at all levels!!! If you're interested, reach out at sholla@tifrh.res.in with your CV and a brief description of your research. Feel free to share with others who might be keen. Recruitment ads coming soon! 📢

Thrilled to share that I’ve joined @tifrhyderabad.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor! Grateful to my mentors (esp @grewalsh.bsky.social and KN Balaji), colleagues, friends, family & EVERYONE who made this possible. Excited to explore Epigenetics & the 3D Genome with the brilliant minds in India!
