Thrilled to receive the 2025 Catchlove Sylvan Mid-Career Researcher Fellowship from @CPC_Usyd 🎉 This support comes at a crucial stage in my career, helping me push forward research on mitochondrial stress and insulin resistance. Grateful to the donors & @Sydney_Uni! 🙌
Congratulations to the three recipients of the Charles Perkins Centre Catchlove Sylvan Mid-Career Researcher Fellowships 2025: Dr Alexis Diaz-Vegas @adiazvegas, Associate Professor Melkam Kebede @MelkamKebede, Associate Professor James Wilmott. The new Fellowship is generously…
🚀 Our latest paper in @MolMetab : Very long-chain ceramides (C24–26) drive insulin resistance in muscle—independent of obesity. Multi-omics show they trigger mitochondrial stress & block protein synthesis. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.molm… #InsulinResistance #Ceramides #Metabolism

Absolutamente triste. Realmente deseamos y necesitamos un cambio a este sistema.
Elocuente y triste este reportaje. Muestra la incapacidad de resolver un problema que se arrastra por varios gobiernos. ¡Que estamos esperando! Ya es hora de sincerar la situación de becaria/os en el extranjero.

It's been a big week for our group. Our single-fibre proteomics paper: "Fibre-specific mitochondrial protein abundance is linked to resting and post-training mitochondrial content in the muscle of men" has been accepted by Nature Communications and should be online soon.

Chuffed to have appeared on ABC news yesterday, talking about our new paper on cobra venom antidotes! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @Neely_Lab
On the heels of #WorldSnakeDay, I'm super excited that our paper understanding Spitting Cobra Venom is out and on the cover of @scienceTM! You can find the paper here science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…, a huge effort from the @neelylab and @CMRI. #ScienceResearch

Excited to share our latest work! By deleting the mitochondrial peptidase miPEP in adipocytes, we observed a compensatory increase in muscle metabolism that protects against obesity and IR. #mitochondria #Obesity #Metabolism @MolMetab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are so happy to share our recent work led but this amazing scientist @elise_needham Personalized phosphoproteomics of skeletal muscle insulin resistance and exercise 🏆🏆medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
1/ We are excited to share our preprint on how insulin resistance reshapes human skeletal muscle signalling, and how exercise partially counteracts these effects 🏃 medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵A thread:
