biologist/engineer studying how cell physiology is influenced by environment: investigator @Morgridge_Inst | assistant professor @UWBiochem
excited to share our latest work now online @NatMetabolism, led by @kyle_flickinger, where we unravel a mechanistic basis for the conditional essentiality of NADK, one of the many interesting hits from our previously reported CRISPR screening with HPLM rdcu.be/ekpu6

Just published: nature.com/articles/s4158… Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is critical for mitochondrial function and for controlling reactive oxygen species damage to biological membranes. Because CoQ10 is poorly bioavailable, new approaches are needed to promote CoQ10 synthesis. In our…
🚨Postdoctoral position available now! 🚨We have an immediate fully funded position available in cardiac metabolism. We are looking for a highly motivated person to lead our animal model work in oxidative metabolism in heart! Pay is competitive with benefits offered. 1/2
📢New @KFW_Lab paper out! AML mitochondria remain unperturbed & phenotypically stable under diverse nutrient conditions. And rather than specific nutrients or physiological relevance, AML cell proliferation is influenced by the complete nutrient profile 👉 cancerandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
Thrilled to have our story on the regulation of lysosomal lipids out in @Cell_Metabolism! The work was led by two outstanding grad students @_JessDavidson and Raghav Jain probing mechanistic control of energy expenditure @HHMINEWS @UWBiochem
New! Online now: Hepatic lipid remodeling in cold exposure uncovers direct regulation of bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate lipids by phospholipase A2 group XV dlvr.it/TKmVgH
congrats, @milan95, Sam, et al! v cool approach and findings! Stable isotope tracing in human plasma-like medium reveals metabolic and immune modulation of the glioblastoma microenvironment biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
🔥Smoking hot new paper and tweetorial from @DJCalebC (collab with @ArulChinnaiyan)! 🔥 We are over the moon about this new work and its therapeutic implications for pancreatic cancer. Please have a read and share your thoughts/feedback! 🙏🏼
Beyond grateful to share that my main PhD thesis project, Targeting PIKfyve-driven lipid metabolism in pancreatic cancer (@LyssiotisLab @ArulChinnaiyan), has just been published in @Nature! @UMRogelCancer @UMICHpancreas @UMichMedSchool @UMichPath @UMichResearch @UMichCMB
