InSDB: Building a Developmental Biology Community in India

As a field Developmental Biology intersects with many branches of biology and theory to understand how plants and animal grow, change shape, and form structures that are important for their function. InSDB brings together developmental biologists who are interested in building a community in India.

The Node

If you’re a DevBio enthusiast, I am sure you’ve come across The Node. Run by the journal Development and its publisher, Company of Biologists, this community website, is part of our inspiration. But in case you haven’t, read on! Joyce You, The Node’s Community Manager, tells about the Node and what they do.

Become a Community Manager!

The Indian Society for Developmental Biology (InSDB) is looking for a Community Manager!

Perspectives From Puddles

My first peek into the world of ‘developmental biology’ was years before I knew that such a field of study existed. Thanks to Foldscope – an origami paper microscope and a humble puddle on a sea beach in Mumbai that I got excited about looking at innards of all kinds of eggs.


Message from the President

Greetings! I am thrilled to announce the launch of the brand new logo and website for the Indian Society of Developmental Biologists (InSDB).


Drosophila Gastrulation by Aadya Nageswaran

It is one thing to observe Drosophila embryos under a microscope (they look like grains of rice with two appendages), but it is quite another, more mind-blowing experience, to watch that same tiny bundle of cells under a foldscope
