Great video summarizing my recent research article! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… instagram.com/reel/DTxfb8zEx…

Happy to see our recent Science Advances publication featured by @ScienceDaily This work explores how low-dose medicinal THC can positively impact gut health, serotonin levels, cholesterol, and bile acid metabolism in HIV and beyond, opening doors to new strategies for improving long-term health outcomes. @ScienceMagazine #HIVResearch #GutBrainAxis #inflammation #TranslationalResearch #WomenInScience sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/…

Honored to publish in Science Advances (@ScienceMagazine @AAAS)! HIV + ART drive metabolic disruption. Cannabinoids as adjuncts to ART restore bile acid balance, boost serotonin & protect liver, gut & brain — with broad impact on metabolic health. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #AAAS #liverdisease #brain #HIV @TexasBiomed

Our summer intern Henry Chuo presented our newest project on lymph node fibrosis in HIV/ART. This important work aims to uncover how tissue remodeling impair immune restoration in people living with HIV. We are grateful for his contribution to our team this summer! Grateful to the @txbiomed Summer Internship Program for supporting the next generation of biomedical researchers! #fibrosis #HIV #research #intern

One paper accepted! 4 more to go.. It’s a great feeling when years of hard work finally get accepted for publication! #Science #infectiousdiseas #Research

Today our amazing speakers shared how they use storytelling, strategy, and authenticity to make science accessible to the public. Huge thanks to our panelists Myra Arthur from @ksatnews , @foynicole , @dr_benrein , Brian Peters from @Velocity_TX , and Rosemary Riggs from @txbiomed for your insights and for encouraging all of us to become better science communicators! @txbiomed #science #communication #publichealth

Our review paper is among the highly cited papers in the Biomedicines journal! @txbiomed #cannabis #research

No matter where you are in the world, together, we can shape the future of #globalhealth. Join us for #TxBiomedGHS March 27-28 in #SATX & online. bit.ly/TxBiomedGHS

Excited to see the growing potential of GLP-1 drugs beyond diabetes and weight loss! Grateful to contribute to this evolving field through my own research at Mohan lab at @txbiomed funded by @TexasDCFAR Study finds GLP-1s had multiple health benefits axios.com/2025/01/21/glp…

@ModelAyshaMirza @PeterHotez Absolutely!

@LakminiSP @PeterHotez He is one of the best mentors!

Many thanks to Dr. @PeterHotez for inviting me to visit this weekend in Houston. I really appreciate the career advice and our great conversation! Grateful for mentors like Dr. Hotez for taking the time to support early stage investigators like myself, as I navigate the career paths in infectious disease and global health. #globalhealth #infectiousdisease #mentoring

@PeterHotez @txbiomed Thank you again Dr. Hotez!

Many thanks ⁦@LakminiSP⁩ ⁦@txbiomed⁩ Texas Biomedical Research Institute for hosting my lecture in San Antonio TX last week, speaking on our portfolio of “Antipoverty Vaccined” for neglected tropical diseases

As the Executive board of Texas biomed association of trainees, it was an honor to organize and host Dr. Peter Hotez MD PhD for a seminar at Texas Biomedical Research Institute. His timely and impactful insights on “Global Immunizations and the Antipoverty Vaccines” were deeply relevant to today’s global health challenges. And we are especially grateful for the invaluable career guidance he provided to Texas Biomed trainees. @PeterHotez @txbiomed @SwRI #publichealth #vaccines #globalhealth #infectiousdisease #Science #research
