Our first mail 🙈

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

First experiment done in the new lab: a success!!

Our very first rotation student did an absolutely phenomenal job presenting her work!! Kudos Tanmana Mitra!!

MSK staff appreciation day 👩🏻‍🔬 #WomenInSTEM @sloan_kettering

I’m thrilled to share a pre-print from Christina Lee and our lab, in collaboration with Benjamin D. Greenbaum, Mini Kamboj, and Esther Babady, PhD that fully characterizes persistent COVID-19 infection as a chronic syndrome distinct from “long COVID”. A short thread: 1/x medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

First (joint) lab party, so full of gratitude Chrysothemis Brown Santosh Vardhana

I’m so excited to share Vardhana Lab’s first perspective, written by Luis F. Somarribas Patterson, out in Trends in Immunology 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/1drY75Eb0RmL…

Woohoo! We are so proud of Kevin (Yan-Ting) Chen who has already hit the ground running! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So excited that our paper describing clinical and laboratory predictors of prolonged #COVID19 infection is out today in Cancer Discovery. So as not to repeat myself, I'll refer you to the tweetorial from the pre-print version of this paper: x.com/SantoshVardhan…

Brown and Vardhana lab tree!

Are you interested in exploring immune dysfunction in hematopoietic malignancies? Vardhana Lab is looking for a post-doctoral fellow for an exciting collaboration with Chrysothemis Brown, supported by MSKCC | Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and Lymphoma Research Foundation. Details below! jobrxiv.org/job/vardhana-l…

In collaboration with Chrysothemis Brown, we are looking for a motivated research technician to work on T-cell dysfunction in hematopoietic malignancies; spread the word! jobrxiv.org/job/vardhana-l…

Proud of Kevin (Yan-Ting) Chen for showing a slide describing the wonderful Coulter counter Beckman Coulter Life Sciences which we use maybe more than any other instrument!!

It was a joy and privilege to ride to support funding for rare cancer research Cycle for Survival Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Kevin (Yan-Ting) Chen Tanmana Mitra Luis F. Somarribas Patterson Santosh Vardhana

I’m thrilled that the 3rd chapter of our explorations of #COVID19 in patients with cancer is out today in Cancer Cell! Thread (1/24): cell.com/cancer-cell/fu…

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.

Such a joy to celebrate the growth of our (still young!) labs with the wonderful and incomparable Chrysothemis Brown. Thank you to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Fun Fund for giving us an excuse to get together!!!
