From March 13–20, Cornellians are driving a campuswide effort to add 10,000 new potential stem cell donors to the NMDP registry. With a simple, free cheek swab, you can help advance lifesaving research and increase the chances of finding matches for patients awaiting transplants. It’s a simple way our community can make an immediate difference. Learn how to participate: go.nmdp.org/m/NMDPCornell. Read more: news.cornell.edu/stories/202….

From heart failure to neurodegeneration, CHIP may be a central aging mechanism connecting multiple diseases. Thrilled to collaborate with @jennkwanMDPhD to uncover cross-disease biology and new therapeutics.
Thx @EricTopol for highlighting our hybrid cardio-onc/CHIP clinic @Yale. Clonal hematopoiesis is reshaping how we think about CV🫀risk, including in cancer patients (CH=2-3x more prevalent); excited to build clinical models that bring these discoveries to patients w/@KnowingAlok!

Even as it admitted its first batch of MBBS students for the 2025–26 academic year, a medical college at #ESIC Model Hospital and PGIMSR, Basaidarapur, is operating without any professors in its 3 core pre-clinical departments—Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry. The medical college, ESIC Medical College and Hospital, opened in 2025 at the existing ESIC Model Hospital and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences and Research as part of a national push by the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation to expand medical education and healthcare delivery across the country. @timesofindia

A big thank you to the city of Ahmedabad for allowing the Motwani Jadeja foundation to install our first MJ Art Prize sculpture by Sonal Ambani. The sculpture is interactive and installed right at the entrance of the Atal Bridge on Sabarmati Riverfront. Sonal is the first recipient of our art prize and will lead our effort in finding a second woman Artist recipient for 2026. The funny man in the picture is Hugo Weihe, ex head of Christie’s auction house for South Asian Art. He also led Saffron for a few years in Mumbai.. Hugo now helps the Motwani foundation and is the chief curator of the Motwani Jadeja Women’s Art Prize.

Absolutely spot on, @drmohanv sir. The risk is real, One survey found that 60% of those who relied on AI alone misjudged the seriousness of their symptoms, leading to delayed care and severe complications. AI can support but should never replace expert medical judgment. Thank you for highlighting the dangers so clearly. @KamathGurudutt @DrSyedSehrish
Many are turning to AI for medical advice but ignoring real doctors can cost lives. AI can inform, but it cannot replace medical expertise. Your health is priceless. Consult your doctor, not just Google or ChatGPT.

For those of you hunting for your next position, please consider applying for a postdoctoral position in our lab. Our science is wild and exciting, and I promise to train and feed (yes, w/free food) you well. It doesn't hurt that we are on a publication hot streak.
