MVH Lab

Had an amazing time presenting my work, co-chairing a session, listening to excellent talks and enjoying pintxos at EACR Cancer Metabolism Conference in Bilbao! @EACRnews @mvh_lab

As promised, a 🧵 on our recent article now out in @NatureSMB! Co-led with @AbbyBartlett_ @Pagliarini_Lab @JudithSimcox, we find ACAD10/11 are NOT like other acyl-CoA dehydrogenases and instead catabolize atypical lipids called 4-hydroxy acids 🤯#lipidtime doi.org/10.1038/s41594…

Congratulations to our amazing MIT undergraduate Diya Ramesh who won an award for her poster presentation at #AACR2025 @kochinstitute @MITBiology

Congratulations to superstar graduate student @ryan_elbashir on her excellent talk today at #AACR2025 @kochinstitute @MITBiology

Honored to present tomorrow at #AACR2025 to share my work from the Vander Heiden Lab (MIT @kochinstitute) during the Metabolic Frontiers in Cancer session! 🧫 Would love to see you there and connect! Grateful for the @aacr #MICR and @hhminews for supporting my attendance!

I'm excited to present my work on the deorphanization of atypical lipid catabolic enzymes at #ASBMB25 on Monday April 14th. Please come to W179 to hear my flash-talk at 9:30AM and hang out with me at poster #350! #lipidtime

Vermont ice fishing trip with @mvh_lab was a success!! Everyone caught something. Congrats to Matt on his pike.

@mvh_lab wins the @MITBiology group costume contest with the Olympians who went viral...featuring mvh dressed up as the Olympic village card board bed 😂

Abstract submission is now open for the AACR Annual Meeting 2025 (April 25-30, Chicago), chaired by Lillian L. Siu and Matthew G. Vander Heiden. Submit an abstract by November 26. Learn more: bit.ly/483wWzl #AACR25 @lillian_siu @mvh_lab

Thank you to the 340+ participants & exhibitors who attended Cancer Metabolism at @Euskalduna_eus this week, our biggest conference ever! 🤩 Our wonderful Scientific Programme Committee: @ArkaitzLab, Matthew Vander Heiden @kochinstitute, @LabVousden & @alexia_zz 👏

Just another collaboration with fellow postdoc @tony_zhang_phd

We are very excited to see Sharanya Sivanand's outstanding study published in Nature Metabolism! Congratulations on beautiful work!

Congratulations, Jared! We are so excited for you to begin the next phase of your stellar career! We know you will continue to do great things!

Hi #metabolism twitter. ~5 years ago wrote a review with @mvh_lab and @DMM_Journal about how the microenvironment drives many metabolic features/targets of cancers: tinyurl.com/3sk263z9 1/7

Very proud to share that my postdoc work from @mvhlab is now published @NatMetabolism! 📢nature.com/articles/s4225… See below for details…

Special congratulations to our recent PhD grads @BrianTDo1 and @SarahMChang! We are so proud of your accomplishments and excited for your future successes as physician scientists! @MITBiology @mit_hst @HarvardMITmdphd

Big congratulations to MD/PhD student Dr. @BrianTDo1 on defending his PhD thesis "Metabolic and genetics factors guiding hematopoietic cell fate"! You smashed it out of the park ⚾️! Looking forward to seeing all the huge successes that are coming your way 💫

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS 🥳to @BrianTDo1 of @mvh_lab for defending his PhD! A fearless scientist, deep thinker, and genuinely good person, he will go far in whatever he chooses to do and study. It has been a true privilege to work with you - I have learned so much!

Check out this recent review from Franny and Kiera on the bidirectional relationship between metabolism and the cell cycle! 🔄🤝💫

Congratulations Dr. Kiera Sapp @ksapp17 on defending her PhD thesis "The Influence of Cellular Redox State on Mitosis"! Beautiful science and outstanding talk. We are so excited to see what bright things lay ahead for you (like winning first place in trivia)!
