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.

Not all immune cells behave like the textbooks say.
New blog: Dr. Santosha Vardhana shows how HiFi long-read RNA is exposing hidden transcript isoforms + real immune diversity in cancer datasets.
If you build hypotheses off single-cell data, this one’s worth a read: bit.ly/4rypwN3

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.
