This time I'll be in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), my alma mater, not to talk on my research, but to talk about translating my father Anand's novel from Malayalam to English. Stolen Gods, in English.

Hot off the press: As TB continues to demand long and complex treatment regimens, @VivekRaoigib and his team at @IGIBSocial explored the potential of repurposing sertraline, an FDA-approved antidepressant, as an adjunct to standard TB therapy. The study shows that combining sertraline with frontline TB drugs significantly reduces bacterial burden and improves lung pathology,without compromising the drug pharmacokinetics.

“There is an urgent need for targeted and risk-based approaches in Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) research.”
The February editorial in The Lancet Regional Health – Southeast Asia highlights the importance of optimising regional priorities in MASLD research.

In times of distress, the human spirit finds a source of hope in the idea of a god, or perhaps community. Yet, in our world, many are denied this refuge. Forgotten by society, their identities lost, they find themselves alone. STOLEN GODS by Anand, translated @ChetanaX
Anand's Malayalam novel അപഹരിക്കപ്പെട്ട ദൈവങ്ങൾ is now available in English. Translated by @Chetanax
