Presenting my work at #ANSConference25 was an absolute blast! I’ve made many new connections, and I’ve learned so much over these few days.

A big shoutout to all those involved in this project, as none this could have been possible without all of you!

Eager for #ANS2026!

#Diabetes ocular #complications. https://t.co/8JMbyiNCWa Shout out to @MyaPolkamp @Wilson11483782 and Ho Pham team @MugdhaVJoglekar who published a #tearfluid biomarkers signature of diabetes Cx. A systematic review & meta-analysis n=1413 participants identifying TNF-α +VEGF.

At 6 PM EST: #Th1nkTank presentation w/ @AnandHardikar

Discussing how #microRNA-based #T1D #biomarkers can be used to develop #RiskScores for #T1D #therapy and #riskstratification @TheRNAInstitute @microRNA_papers @JakobssonLab @BreakthroughT1D @JDRFAustralia @westernsydneyu

Read this #preprint on @researchsquare: Applicability of a microRNA-based dynamic risk score for type 1 diabetes https://t.co/4Rq8sxcGuf

Couldn’t think of a better team to work with. A well deserved pat on the back to us all for such hard work!

[Anand. A Hardikar @AnandHardikar]

Well done team! Over 2000 samples done and dusted! Can't wait for the analysis @novonordiskfond, @roskildeuni @westernsydneyu. Thanks everyone for tagging along today. Looking forward to further elucidating the roles of #microRNAs on our gut.

A PhD position is open in my lab for those interested in studying the neuronal basis of visual perception - utilising virtual reality for mice, optogenetics, and in vivo imaging methods. See the following link for further information: https://t.co/pQeAMTCFPQ

[Anand. A Hardikar @AnandHardikar]

Our preprint on #microRNA-based dynamic risk score for #T1D is now out. Here we show the development and validation of a multi-context (ethnic) risk score for stratifying T1D, and the application of this in predicting the outcome of an established and an emerging #T1D #therapies

Well, that was fun while it lasted 😅

[Mya Polkamp @MyaPolkamp]

@T00bigtoFail @sebs_tweets @krishnabtwtr @HardHardikar I’m glad I labelled it, otherwise it would have looked even more suspicious 😅

@krishnabtwtr @HardHardikar No, it’s a middle eastern herb blend that you mix with olive oil and spread on bread.

@HardHardikar I hope you enjoy!

[Mya Polkamp @MyaPolkamp]

@AnandHardikar @TheLancetEndo Warmest congratulations Anand!! Excellent work!

In our new study, we used fluorescent Localization microscopy to generate Hemodynamic maps of the whole Pial & Calvarial vascular connectome. Here, we used Pia-Flow in stroke, other applications for this transcranial powerful microscopy? #Topology #Velocity #direction #diameter

September: "I'll 100% have the full draft completed by October"

October: "I'm hoping to have most of it written by November"

November: "I'm praying to at least have an introduction by Christmas"

December: "2024 is my year, trust me"
