The future of the Tewari lab is changing, just like our website! We are excited to be exploring new avenues of research, such as increased integration of wearables devices in health monitoring, the impact of stress on not just mental but physical health, the use of artificial intelligence in research and medicine, as well as continuing to explore new threads of our current topics, such as ways to help predict and mitigate CRS in CAR-T cell patients, or improved methods of liquid biopsy utilization.

Our lab takes an exceptionally interdisciplinary approach to help solve important biomedical problems. Our overarching mission is to use science and medicine to contribute to making this planet a healthier, more harmonious place for all. Our current work is especially focused at the intersection of psychology, human physiology, sensing technology, cellular/molecular biology and immunology, data science/A.I., and clinical medicine. 

Some of the themes and projects we are working on currently include:

• Promoting a shift to pro-active, patient-centered and individualized healthcare by integrating wearable sensing technology, computational methods including statistical models and machine learning/A.I., human physiology and clinical medicine.
• Developing new approaches to make CAR-T cell therapy safer and more effective for patients.
• Developing and testing a ‘Theory of Biological Harmony’, to provide a measurable and computable, ‘next generation’ model of what it means for an organism to be ‘healthy’.
• Studying mind-body interactions using wearable sensors and mobile app technology and blood biomarkers of immune function, in order to ultimately identify psychology/neuroscience-based interventions that will increase the cure rate for cancers.
