My PhD paper is now online!! Do give it a read, cuz it was a lot of hard work, in combination @SchadlerLab and Florencia McAllister’s mentorship. If you have any questions, you know how to find me!!

Exercise reshapes not just the tumor immune cells, but also the stroma as evident from patients in the PancFit trial @UTMDAnderson and through mouse models. We also showed that Cholic Acid may reshape the stroma. I’m excited about this work and would love to discuss more! #pdac

New @CR_AACR paper: Exercise modulates microbial metabolites and induces stromal remodeling in #PancreaticCancer aacrjournals.org/cancerres/a… Notably, identical strains of mice from two different vendors have distinct gut microbiome & distinct responses to exercise on tumor growth!

My first time talking about my research in India, was a dream and I am so happy with the enthusiasm of the audience and questions that I received. Going back to Houston with this motivation, and it is going to last me a long time! (2/2)

In 2007, all my friends were over and my mom had cooked chole bhature for us. After the win, we went out to watch the celebration on the streets. 17 years later, and specially after the ODI World Cup heartbreak, this is massive! Nothing unites Indians like cricket does. 🙏🏽

“Good ideas can come from well-researched experimental plans, but they can also come from something as vague as an informed intuition. So, it is crucial at times to trust your training and knowledge, and to take a leap.” - 2021 medicine laureate Ardem Patapoutian #NobelPrize

You’ve heard of girl math, boy math, even dog math. Here’s “grad student math” - doing 10 things at once. -3 of those 10 are failing horribly. -which means that you have a 100% rate of failure. Add your #GradStudentMath Idea in collab with @rootv_s #AcademicChatter

Doing a “tiny” thing in the lab can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours. It was tiny, and time has no meaning.
