We study metabolism and everything secreted! Katrin J. Svensson Assistant Professor @StanfordPath Metabolic Core Director @StanfordDRC @svenssonlab.bsky.social
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.
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
Thank you, Dr. Bickel, for featuring our research on the discovery of BRP during 'The Year in Obesity' session at ENDO 2025. #ENDO25 @SvenssonLab
Discovery of peptides as key regulators of metabolic and cardiovascular crosstalk. Check out this review in @CellReports by @SvenssonLab Katrin J. Svensson & Zeyuan Zhang #ENDO2025 hubs.li/Q03wtQDH0
Huge thanks to all the speakers at ADA2025 for sharing excellent science!! It was so fun to organize these sessions with @PaulTitchenell! This one is for you no-social-media-Nav
Grateful to the American Diabetes Association @AmDiabetesAssn for the opportunity to make a short film about our lab at Stanford University. We talk about peptides and their roles in metabolic health. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Out today from @StanfordPeds Endocrine Fellow #HectorOrtega & @SethASharp a state of the art review on polygenic risk scores (#PRS) in diabetes. This is your 101 on what we currently know about them and their application to understanding disease heterogeneity and clinical…
Happy to share our latest paper showing that deletion of adipose-derived Isthmin-1 leads to fatty liver and elevated ceramides. Congrats to first author Saranya Reghupaty and all the co-authors! @MolMetab @StanfordPath @StanfordDRC sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
My lab is recruiting a postdoc fellow to characterize new biochemical pathways that control taurine and glucose metabolism. Email me at [email protected] to apply! Please help RT🙏 @longlabstanford @JudithSimcox @UWBiochem
Happy to share this review on glucose and fructose metabolism in Annual Review of Nutrition @AnnualReviews. There is still a lot we don’t understand of how fructose metabolism is controlled. @JameelBarkat @KarenGarelli @StanfordPath @StanfordDRC annualreviews.org/content/journa…

Thanks for highlighting amazing David Toomer
btw, kudos to David Toomer for the banger regex (4/n)
Stanford just found a natural alternative to Ozempic using some clever regex on the human proteome. Instead of manually searching through proteins, their one-liner “peptide predictor” regex narrowed down promising candidates. The calculation likely took just a few seconds.
To give an idea of the rate of progress in science, in the last 2 days @Nature (alone) has published pre-clinical discoveries of: 1) New antibiotics 2) A new obesity medication 3) A new pain medication 4) New atherosclerosis medications
Hot on the heels of excellent work from @SvenssonLab, more evidence of large-scale generation of functional protein fragments by proteolysis nature.com/articles/s4158… Very exciting to see this convergence with our work showing pervasive function of protein fragments in vivo! (1/2)
Thanks to Stanford School of Medicine for covering work @Laeti67202 @StanfordPath @StanfordDRC med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/…
