Key takeaway from Dr. Santosha Vardhana in Beyond the Bench:

When T cells run low on energy, they make priority decisions that shift into self preservation mode. That bioenergetic limit shapes immune exhaustion.

You’ve heard the buzz around a more affordable long-read genome with SPRQ-Nx. Now we’re letting the data do the talking.

Newly published WGS datasets across human, plant, and animal genomes show you don’t need to compromise data quality for affordability.

Why do people fall in love with biology? 

For Dr. Santosha Vardhana, it’s awe at how much the human body gets right. That sense of wonder still shapes how he thinks about cancer, the immune system, and discovery.
