Febrile temperature activates the innate immune response by promoting aberrant influenza A virus RNA synthesis Fever promotes aberrant influenza A virus RNA synthesis and innate immune activation.

Ever wondered how fever helps fight flu? Our research shows that fever-like temperature tip the scales in the battle between the influenza virus and the immune system by enhancing antiviral responses and altering viral RNA dynamics. Check out the full article here:

Schematic of the competitive catabolism model

Excited to share my latest postdoc work on systemic metabolic homeostasis! We show that nutrient consumption fluxes compete, and this competitive catabolism helps explain why obesity drives diabetes. Explore the model with our interactive web app: compcat.princeton.edu

Super excited to share my final postdoc paper from Rabinowitz lab- on how whole-body and tissue metabolism changes in viral infection!

Excited to share our latest preprint in which we integrate mathematical modeling with experimental approaches to investigate how ⬆️ temperature influences aberrant RNA synthesis and innate immunity in flu infection 🦠

Last talk of morning 1 at METPHYS2025 Daniel Weilandt is working to convince us that hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia sustain lipid homeostasis in obesity

Exited to present my latest PostDoc work at METPHYS2025. Looking forward to connecting with everyone there.

An update with latest data available for graph of life expectancy vs health care expenditures per capita for 20 countries and one outlier.

Lactate homeostasis is maintained through regulation of glycolysis and lipolysis Lactate elevations are a hallmark of human disease, but the mechanisms regulating lactate levels remain poorly understood. Here, Lee et al. elucidate the mechanisms of lactate homeostasis. These invol...

Elevated lactate is a hallmark of human disease. In our latest work in the Rabinowitz lab, Won Dong Lee and I uncover how multiple mechanisms work in concert to robustly maintain lactate levels.

lysosome experts! if you are trying to show that a stimulus increases lysosome mass/activity, how would you demonstrate that? (pls reskee)

This made my day, we need more of this ❤️:
