Anand has written about how the unregulated use of antibiotics has given rise to superbugs – a bacteria that can resist antibiotics. He has detailed how as a community, India has abused antibiotics by overusing them without prescriptions, filling its protein food chain with them, and then dumping pharmaceutical waste from antibiotic plants into the country’s water streams.
He is a passionate scientist and a humanitarian at heart. Anand believes that for science and scientific innovation to be at its best, it must be driven by the values of compassion and humanity.
