Anand Bhagwat, MD, PhD

Tremendously proud to share my fellowship work, online today in @NatureMedicine. We tried to understand why CAR T therapy for AML doesn't work as well as we hoped it would, and how we can solve that. 👇🧵1/10 @PennMedicine @CHOP_Research @GillSaar nature.com/articles/s4159…

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution. Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

@ewang2323 Congrats Eric!!

Thrilled to share that our lab has officially received NIH support through an NIGMS MIRA R35 award!! This marks our first NIH grant and a big milestone for our lab. I am deeply grateful to our lab members, collaborators, PO, and the NIGMS staff for their guidance and support.

@canna_lab Congrats Scott! Looks really cool and interesting!

Maybe evolution has been fighting 🦠 AND avoiding autoimmunity for a while. "The innate cytokine IL-18 inhibits CNS autoimmunity through preferential activation of protective CD8 T-cells" tinyurl.com/ILgr8teen Bulletproof IL-18🛑EAE (wo #MAS) even w lots of 👿 CD4s around

#ImmuNERD PREPRINT Innate #cytokines are dumb ... So IL-18 should juice up whatever T-cells are already jazzed, ... right? If that hits during an autoimmune challenge like EAE things should get MUCH worse, right? Well ...

A demotion and a quiet retirement aren’t justice. They’re an escape hatch. Greg Bovino oversaw a killing, helped shield the shooter, pushed unverified claims, and obstructed transparency. That’s criminal conduct and it demands arrest, charges, and prosecution.

its not just abolish ice, we must punish ice. justice must be served.

people keep asking what we want tim walz to do and i just think back to 2024 where 65 year old congressmen in korea were breaking into federal buildings and fighting armed servicemen to stop a coup attempt. all we get over here is tweets.

sorry, but the Founding Fathers' original intent for the 2nd Amendment was always *just* to do school shootings

anything less than abolishing ice is a cowardly capitulation to fascism

@LyssiotisLab Would love a copy but can’t DM you!

I have been instructed on hacks to making the formatting more palatable! Too much to type here, DM and I’ll send the slide deck from Michigan Medicine IT 💪🏼

Forever my 🐐

Actually punishing the Confederates this time.

If the next dem trying to run for president in 2028 doesn't lead with Nuremberg trials 2.0 for Trump, his republican co-conspirators, and ICE they might as well not run. Don't give me that unity bullshit. I need these people publicly arrested and imprisoned forever.

lol as usual centrism has the stupidest possible answer

This is the disease your idiotic CDC/administration just voted to not recommend vaccinating against, btw

@audrey_lasry @BettinaNadorp @sanamloghavi @iannisaifantis1 @AkEisfeld Congratulations @audrey_lasry ! Sounds super interesting and can’t wait to read it

Thrilled to share the second part of my postdoc in the #aifantislab out now on Biorxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.648… this is in collaboration with the amazing @BettinaNadorp @sanamloghavi and led by @iannisaifantis1 and @AkEisfeld

@SarahSkuli @ASH_hematology @ConquerCancerFd @NIH Congratulations Sarah!

Chemoresistance of TP53 mutant AML requires the mevalonate byproduct, GGPP, for an induction of an adaptive stress response - available online now at Leukemia! Thanks to all co-authors and funding support from @ASH_hematology @ConquerCancerFd @NIH nature.com/articles/s4137…

@ewang2323 @Cuijuan3 Congrats Eric!!

🧵1/ Thrilled to share our lab’s first paper, just out in @BloodCancerDisc led by the talented @Cuijuan3 We uncovered an isoform-specific RUNX1C–BTG2 axis that drives chemoresistance in AML. 👉 aacrjournals.org/bloodcancerdis…

@dstarczynowski Thanks Dan!!

Congrats Anand!!

@brindaalagesan @BWFUND Thanks Brinda!

@anandbmdphd @BWFUND Congrats, Anand!!

Unbelievably honored to have received a career award from @BWFUND. Hard to express how meaningful this support is in times like today. Also hard to express enough gratitude to my family, to my mentors, and to the patients we do this for.
