Excited to share our opinion piece on why current standard cell culture practices deserve more consideration - with implications on cell metabolism and beyond! We focus in particular on nutrient and oxygen availability. A pleasure to work with @JasonRCantor lab! @DPhaz @IMS_MRL

How do we control our blood sugar after a meal or sugary drink? A new study has found genetic clues to help explain how this process can break down and increase our risk of developing type 2 diabetes. @IMS_MRL @MRC_Epid bit.ly/43MSvRu

Pleasure to work on this with @JulianvanGerwen and @AmberShunshion. And thank you to the Reviewers for helping us improve the manuscript!

We have a postdoc position available in our team to undertake a UKRI-funded project to develop a new cultured skeletal muscle model for studying glc metabolism and insulin action. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50597/ @IMS_MRL Please RT. Please email if interested.

Celebrating a decade of the Novo Nordisk – Oxford Fellowship Programme! Yesterday’s 10th Annual Symposium at St Hugh’s College, Oxford, brought together our incredible fellows, @UniofOxford Principal Investigators and researchers, and Novo Nordisk scientists for a memorable day.

We are looking for a Postdoc to investigate novel genes that regulate insulin-stimulated glucose transport (tinyurl.com/ycarykzh). MRC-funded collaboration with O'Rahilly (@StephenORahilly) @IMS_MRL & Langenberg groups (QMUL). Please RT. Link: tinyurl.com/57ea9p3f

Beyond excited to share my first paper from my PhD @DPhaz Lab @IMS_MRL now out in @embojournal! Special thanks to Sam from @TVPLab and @dougall_norris for co-leading this project with me. We found that many cell culture models, despite living in 18% oxygen, are hypoxic! 🧵below:…

Great to see this published- very proud to have contributed to this study. Congrats to Alice and thanks to all collaborators. Very excited to find out more about these novel genes that regulate Glut4 responses

👏👏👏We are so excited for @olivia_j_conway, a finalist in this year's #STEM4Brit to be held at the @HouseofCommons on 6 March @STEM4Brit. View her poster on understanding how our fat cells store and release energy here: ow.ly/cKe950N63hi #IMS_MRLGoodNewsFriday

Congratulations to Society member @olivia_j_conway from @IMS_MRL who has made it to the final of @STEM4Brit, and will present her work in the Houses of Parliament! View her poster on understanding how our fat cells store and release energy here: ow.ly/cKe950N63hi

Delighted to share a new collaboration between @DPhaz lab and @TVPLab. We show that many common metabolic cell culture models, despite living in 18% oxygen, are hypoxic - with major consequences for phenotypes! @IMS_MRL @TheBHF @The_MRC 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great talk using LOPITdc to look at change in protein localisation in response to insulin signalling in adipocytes at #Proteomics22 by Olivia Conway from @DPhaz lab.
