Hot meeting alert!! 🚨🚨 @vai.org is hosting Rising Stars and Horizons in Metabolism, a new format, 2 day symposium highlighting both established and up and coming leaders in Metabolic research. Check it out and register here: www.vai.org/event/rising...
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
Whoo hoo! The final version of our first paper is online! So proud of the team. kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...
We have an Open Rank tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Nutrition & Integrative Physiology! Looking for a new colleague interested in making the University of Utah their new home to build a metabolic research program. Please share!

I’m really beyond thrilled to be included in this years Pew Biomedical Scholars cohort and to be able to meet all the incredible scientists in this program. I was in Scott Kennedy’s lab when he was a Pew Scholar and never thought I’d be lucky enough to also be one! www.pew.org/en/about/new...
6 weeks left to submit your abstract for Midwest Metabolism & TRiMAD 2025! Join us in Ann Arbor this fall!!! www.vai.org/event/2025-m...
Officially tenured. Thank you to all the mentors who guided me, and to the trainees who made this possible with your ideas, hard work, and scientific joy.
Spread the word - Join us! We’re hiring an assistant professor/investigator to lead a metabolism-focused research program @morgridgemeta.bsky.social in partnership with @bmolchem.bsky.social for tenure track position at @uwmadison.bsky.social. To learn more & to apply: morgridge.org/job-posting/...
For ESIs dealing with grants being rescinded: if an investigator’s 1st substantial independent research award is terminated within the first 3 years of the project period (not due to scientific misconduct ) they can request the reinstatement of ESI status

Amazing NoWINski lab showing at the VAI scientific retreat - 3 poster session awards to 3 very talented lab trainees! #proudPI
Sign up for midwest metabolism & Trimad joint meeting! Abstracts are due 9/2/25. The vast majority of talks will come from the abstracts - great opportunity for trainees! www.vai.org/event/2025-m...

I'm excited to share our latest story from the
@lydiafinley.bsky.social lab, where we show that it's not just whether cells take up nutrients that matters, but how and where those metabolites are used. Out now in @naturemetabolism.bsky.social: rdcu.be/ejFTs 1/
Intracellular metabolic gradients dictate dependence on exogenous pyruvate

Congrats to @lydiafinley.bsky.social Lab!
Very cool!!
Happy to share our most recent review on mitochondria-organelle metabolic communication with Yatrik Shah and Costas Lyssiotis now online at Molecular Cell!
We explored aspect of lipid transfer, organelle membrane contacts, ROS, metabolites, and metals!

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
Registration is live for the 1st ever Midwest Metabolism & TRiMAD dual meeting, hosted jointly by VAI + U of M in Ann Arbor, MI November 10-11, 2025! We have some exciting speakers but most will come from abstracts so submit your best #mitochondria & #metabolism research! www.vai.org/event/2025-m...

I’m going to staple these peeves to my door just so my students know it’s not just me.
I’ve had such a great few days of science and sunshine thanks to @fusionconf.bsky.social !! Super big congrats to lab postdoc Sam Preston who won a poster award!! Many thanks to the organizers for an awesome meeting.
Can’t wait for her to get here!! Love this story - super interesting stuff!!
Next, our 2nd preprint of the week (!), this one driven by @madelouhart.bsky.social
Previously: Mitochondrial inhibition impairs cell proliferation by constraining aspartate (ASP) availability.
Here: we investigate the kinetics of ASP depletion/ proliferation impairments and...surprises ensue!
Excited to share a recent preprint by Oliver Newsom, where we evaluate the functional contributions of serum for cancer cell proliferation. Inside:
A broadly applicable serum-free media,
Quantitative lipid uptake characterization,
Evidence lipid scavenging > synthesis for cancer cell proliferation.
