Affiliated with @StanfordPath and @Stanford_ChemH. We study mammalian energy metabolism!
Grateful to Joan and Sandy Weill for their visionary gift, bringing the best from @Stanford @UCSF together to transform cancer care. And excited for our Project FEAST team tackle critically unanswered questions at the intersection of cancer, nutrition, obesity, and GLP-1 drugs.
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.
🚀 Join CongLab @Stanford! We’re hiring postdocs to create lab-in-the-loop self-evolving AI agents, open benchmarks, to design, test & learn—advancing safer gene & cell therapies. Build on CRISPR-GPT, RNAGenesis model, Genome-Bench, for innovative medicines. #PostdocJobs
From @SvenssonLab, Laetitia presenting her peptide work at ENDO 2025 San Francisco. Great job Laetitia!!! @StanfordPath @StanfordMed
This is an incredible report. Functional rescue of coenzyme Q levels rescues what is otherwise a fatal genetic neurometabolic disorder. Link to paper here: nature.com/articles/s4158…
“A dream come true”: A child walks again after breakthrough treatment for a rare genetic disorder—thanks in part to NIH-funded research. Scientists at @nyulangone discovered that a CoQ10 precursor can help brain cells restore energy production, offering new hope for families…
Cool discovery, intriguing concept - metabolism is an optional add on, whereas DNA replication is essential
So cool, a novel archaeon with a super small genome and no metabolic genes! "An unprecedented level of metabolic dependence on a host, a condition that challenges the functional distinctions between minimal cellular life and viruses." biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to @alanshtung and the other graduates @StanfordMed class of 2025 @AttardiLaura @StanfordPath @Stanford_ChEMH
🚨Job Alert!🚨 @NatMetabolism seeks an Associate or Senior #Editor to join our team. If being a #Metabolism Editor is for you, and you are based in, or open to moving to New York or Shanghai, check out our #job posting below and apply before June 11th! springernature.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/SpringerNature…
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…
What a milestone- sending off @WeiWei_Stanford to @UWMadison. Good luck Wei!! @JudithSimcox @Stanford_ChEMH @StanfordPath
Congratulations @alanshtung on your successful PhD thesis defense @nicolemmart @Stanford_ChEMH
Kicking off now! @alanshtung PhD thesis defense @StanfordMed @StanfordPath
Great series of talks today at the Bay Area Aging Meeting, including this one from Jing Chen @BrunetLab. Thx @UCSF for hosting this year!!
Thx for the opportunity to connect with your community!
Fantastic HyperMet talk by @longlabstanford. His research makes your biochemistry textbook go out date because it does not cover "liminal metabolites"!
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
Congratulations to Shuke on your poster prize!
Thanks to all who joined us at our Year-End Symposium and Research Showcase to learn about promising studies on brain resilience supported by the Knight Initiative. Congrats to our 2025 poster session winners: Vanessa Doulames, Lauren Duan, Shuke Xiao, and Shon Alimukhamedov!
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…
So exciting to see @WeiWei_Stanford launch his independent group at @UWMadison. Go Wei! @JudithSimcox
I'm beyond thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Biochemistry Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison this fall as an Assistant Professor. My lab will focus on deorphanizing biochemical pathways that regulate nutrient metabolism @UWBiochem @uwmadisonipib
Pretty wild!
Metabolism (and horse) nerds: You have to check out this paper! Keap1 mutations in equine species permit increased Nrf2 activity and help explain why horses have such big, strong, oxygen consuming muscles 💪🏼🐴 The nature of the mutation is as provocative as the physiological…
Congratulations @AmandaWigg_ on your last day with us @Stanford_ChEMH @StanfordPath @SvenssonLab
