The Vardhana lab studies how nutrient availability, uptake, and utilization regulates immune cell fate decisions, particularly within tumors.

Such a joy to celebrate the growth of our (still young!) labs with the wonderful and incomparable @themis_brown. Thank you to the @MSKCancerCenter Fun Fund for giving us an excuse to get together!!!

First Vardhana lab retreat in the books! Science, hiking, billiards, bananagrams, Taboo, homecooked paneer, and lots of debate on the merits and demerits of Halo Top. I’m lucky to be surrounded by such brilliant and fun-loving people.

Proud of @KevinYTChen for showing a slide describing the wonderful Coulter counter @BCILifeSciences which we use maybe more than any other instrument!!

So excited that our paper describing clinical and laboratory predictors of prolonged #COVID19 infection is out today in @CD_AACR. So as not to repeat myself, I'll refer you to the tweetorial from the pre-print version of this paper: xitter.cf/SantoshVardhana/status…

Woohoo! We are so proud of @KevinYTChen who has already hit the ground running! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Extremely honored to received this year's Harold Varmus Fellowship! Thank you @GSKGradSchool for all the support and putting such an extraordinary class together. Looking forward next to exploring immune cell metabolism with my mentor @SantoshVardhana! mskcc.org/news/promising-phd…

I’m so excited to share @VardhanaLab’s first perspective, written by @lfsomap, out in @TrendsImmuno today! In this piece, we offer a (hopefully) fresh view on how to think about how cellular metabolism regulates anti-tumor immune responses. (1/x): authors.elsevier.com/a/1drY7…

Definitely kismet for our first media order to be next to @lydfinley with whom we have spent more time pontificating about all things science (including media composition) than anyone! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
