So grateful to be a part of this wonderful team effort. It’s going to be an incredible process of discovery with an amazing team FEAST @UCSF and @Stanford thanks for leading our half of this initiative, @rushika_perera !
Launched today- the Weill Cancer Hub West -supporting transformative cancer research collaborations btw @UCSF & @Stanford. Honored to co-lead, with @longlabstanford, our team who will study the impact of diet on pancreatic cancer initiation, progression and therapy response.
Amazing commitment from the Weills to support groundbreaking and collaborative cancer research, including at the intersection of nutritional and weight-related inputs! Honored to be a part of this initiative! @AtUcsf @UCSFMedicine
Backed by a $100M gift from Joan and Sandy Weill, UCSF and @StanfordMed @StanfordCancer are launching Weill Cancer Hub West, a $200M initiative in team science to accelerate cancer research and improve care over the next decade. tiny.ucsf.edu/ppVRqt
Just chaired, with Lisa Morselli (MCW), a cool session #ENDO2025 on cardiometabolic health in people with HIV. Steve Grinspoon (MGH) on mechanistic benefits of statins; Celestine Wanjalla (Vandy) on pathologic T cells; & Heidi Crane (UW) on clinical management. @TheEndoSociety
Thrilled last night to see Bob Farese, Jr., an outstanding mentor in whose lab @GladstoneInst I trained as a @UCSF postdoc. A scientific friendship between 2 academic endocrinologists spanning 21 years! #ENDO2025 #downtownSF
Wonderful event last night in Downtown San Francisco for all our @UCSFMedicine endocrinology faculty, fellows, and fellowship alumni. Wonderful to see so many amazing friends and colleagues from across the last 50 years! We nailed it! #ENDO2025 #DowntownSF @AtUcsf
@UCSFMedicine Endocrinology could have had a post-clinic conference in the registration area #ENDO2025! Just ran into these folks all arriving to Moscone at the same time! @TheEndoSociety @AtUcsf
It was great having you attend last night, @DrGaryHammer ! So many amazing alumni from our @UCSFMedicine endocrinology fellowship program! Thanks for coming!
Second: Headed to @UCSFHospitals reunion with my adrenal mentors Blake Tyrrell & Paul Fitzgerald along with my “fellow” endocrine “fellows” 1994-1997 Peter Sklarin & Tom Baranski. Not pictured is friend, colleague, @TheEndoSociety leader & UCSF faculty Dolores Shoback and UCSF…
Great endocrine community in the Bay Area! Love this collegiality!
Bay Area endocrinology chiefs at #ENDO2025. I feel outnumbered… JK grateful for close ties with my @UCSF colleagues! @SuneilKoliwad @anneschafer1
Chinese Dragon Dancers officially welcoming #ENDO2025 to the meeting! @TheEndoSociety @AtUcsf
Uplifting to see the science presented by our @UCSFMedicine early stage investigators in Endocrinology #ENDO2025. Congrats Drs. Karin Wu (bone metabolism) and Rob Weber (mineralocorticoid physiology)! @TheEndoSociety
Let’s get on this #ENDO2025 !
Great question, @MarcusDGon! Who is going to be the biggest influencer on social media this year for ENDO? We are excited to feature all your voices. All you have to do is add #ENDO2025 to your posts. There was heavy competition at #ENDO2024 with Symplur reporting that several…

Still just beginning to appreciate the landscape of benefits and their mechanisms! Great article and editorial by Evan Rosen and Margot Emont.
Weight loss provides far more benefit than just losing fat @Nature @NatureNV nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/d4158…
A study in @NatMetabolism shows that under glucose-depleted conditions, neurons can use fatty acids as an alternative source of energy to support synaptic function. go.nature.com/46ArR2G
