Excited to receive an NIH K08 Clinical Investigator Award to support my research on #mitochondria #peroxisomes 😀 The $775K will be critical in helping me transition to independence as I begin looking for a place to start my lab 🙏🏻 @A_P_S_A @the_asci @AmerAcadPeds #neotwitter
A cancer breakthrough in North Texas, but how many more will we get? | Opinion dallasnews.com/opinion/editor…
.@CRI_UTSW researchers found tumors can use sugar-coated structures called GAGs to acquire vitamin E from blood, helping them resist cell death. Supported by @CPRITTexas, this discovery could lead to safer, more targeted cancer therapies and reflects the impact of Texas-backed…
Most of us love hotpot so we are back again at Shoo Loong Kan for July's lab lunch and birthday celebration! 🎂 (also socially awkward moment when all their staff sang birthday song to us 🙃) @SihanSean @YoonKimUTSW @QK15622518 @LucasaEast @Burg1ess @yipengxie_utsw
Great workshop led by @TrevorTippetts1 on best practices for poster presentations! The session offered valuable insights on how to design, structure, & deliver an effective poster presentation. It’s always a pleasure to work with @TrevorTippetts1, a postdoc fellow at @CRI_UTSW.
ONLINE NOW: Two new somatic mutation studies in #liver disease from CRI's @Zhu_Lab: 🟠@JHepatology w/ postdoc Qiyu Zeng, Ph.D. journal-of-hepatology.eu/article/S0168-… 🟠@jclinicalinvest w/ grad student Greg Mannino jci.org/articles/view/… 🔖🧵 Hao's thread ⬇️
Intro to 2 new studies from my lab on somatic mutations in liver disease. 1st is about a mutated gene that leads to improved clone fitness and organismal health (CIDEB). The 2nd is about a mutated gene that leads to improved clone fitness but worse overall health (TBX3). 1/8
Inspiring piece in @NatureCancer, "An unexpected career in cancer metabolism," highlights Dr. Ralph DeBerardinis & the pivotal moments that prompted him to pursue a career in cancer metabolism. @CRI_UTSW @HHMINEWS nature.com/articles/s4301…

We’re truly fortunate to have such extraordinary scientists engaging with our summer students. Thank you, Dr. Ralph DeBerardinis, for sharing the groundbreaking science you are leading at @CRI_UTSW. I’m confident that your talk inspired our students and sparked their curiosity.
Very proud to contribute! Emerging evidence links ecDNA with cold TME. But still chicken&egg as we don't know the mechanism yet. Stay tuned for new findings to come.

Congratulations to Walter Chen, M.D., Ph.D., who is the recipient of a 2025 @BWFUND Career Award for Medical Students. He is the first neonatologist to receive the prestigious award. Read more: bit.ly/3ZCTvIc
Nature research paper: Glycosaminoglycan-driven lipoprotein uptake protects tumours from ferroptosis go.nature.com/4e7u5bM
Researchers at @CRI_UTSW discovered how tumors use glycosaminoglycans to take up antioxidant-rich lipoproteins. This pathway helps cancer cells survive stress and resist cell death, pointing to a potential new target for cancer treatment. bit.ly/3T7W1Cy
