This was a highly collaborative project that would not have been possible without our amazing collaborators @dalessandrolab.bsky.social, Julie Reisz, Sushant Kumar and many others!

Unexpectedly, we also found that circulating metabolites and lipids correlated with the mutations present in the AML cells. There is a ton of data to dig into with this study which is all available in the publication and in a Shinyapp. plasmalipids.shinyapps.io/AML_circulat...

Excited to share a new publications led by Dr. Cristiana O'Brien showing that circulating lipids levels can be used to predict chemotherapy response in AML patients.

Study Reveals Caffeine May Undermine Blood Transfusion Effectiveness Study Reveals Caffeine May Undermine Blood Transfusion Effectiveness

Blood donors, like 67% of adult Americans, drink a lot of coffee. However, caffeine may reduce quality of stored RBCs by (i) inhibiting G6PD (~40%); (ii) antagonizing ADORA2b. Likely relevant beyond blood transfusion!

Thank you Kira

Thank you Angelo!

Thank you Vijay!

Thank you ASH for supporting our research and my great mentors @leegrimeslab.bsky.social and Dan Starczynowski.

Really nice study!

You could consider Dominica. A small less touristy island in the Caribbean. A lot of hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking! Plus a few really nice places to stay with great food and views of beautiful Violet sky sunsets.

This field is on fire! If you liked Julie’s poster at #ASH24, our paper just came out at Aging Cell

Thank you for your help with this project! Science is always better and more fun with good collaborators!

Is the survival disparity observed in Black AML patients linked to underlying differences in disease biology? Come learn about PHIP, a previously overlooked oncogene found in Black patients, at my talk tomorrow (12/7) at 4:30🩸 #ASH24 #AML #healthequity @leegrimeslab.bsky.social

Excited to share two new stories investigating the importance of metabolism in AML at #ASH24!

I will be presentating on 12/8 9:30-11:05am.

Cristiana O'Brien will be presenting 12/8 6-8pm
