Dr. Ankit Tanwar previously worked as a Post-Doctoral Scientist (2018-2022) with Prof. Stanley (Department of Cell Biology) at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was working on Role of Notch Glycosylation in Hematopoiesis. Dr. Tanwar received his Ph.D. degree in Toxicology from the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences, New Delhi, India in 2018 followed by his master degree in Toxicology in 2014 and bachelor degree in Biochemistry from Shivaji College, University of Delhi, New Delhi, in 2012. He was a key worker of a team who coined the word "Herbal Informatics", which has been used for the initial screening of emergency-approved drug by DCGI: 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) for combating the COVID-19 situation in India. He is also serving as an Editorial Board and Co-chair of committees (JoLS/SoLS, USA and JoVE, USA, etc). In July 2022, he joined Prof. Zang's (Department of Microbiology & Immunology) and Dr. Alex Sica (Department of Oncology) group. He is currently investigating the function and mechanism of CAR-T cell therapy and new immune checkpoints.
