His research exposes a critical gap: while Indian science has decoded the molecular diversity of Indian venoms, national policy remains locked in a 19th-century distribution model, ignoring innovation. With recombinant antibodies now able to neutralise venoms across populations in the lab, are horses still our best allies—or simply the most convenient ones? We do not yet have recombinant antibodies that neutralize snake venoms, at least not for Indian snakes. While you say that, interestingly, one of the most potent drugs for treating high blood pressure, spawning a multibillion-dollar industry, was derived from snake venom. Additionally, we’re exploring chemicals in medicinal plants and have found phytocompounds capable of fully neutralizing the lethal effects of snake venoms.
