Congrats @chidley_chris!! Excited to see this all come together, what an amazing accomplishment!.
I’m excited to share a new #cancer #metabolism preprint where we explore nutrient transport in cells and tumors in CRISPRi/a screens. Our question:.How do small molecules like nutrients and drugs get in and out of cells?.🧵(1/12).

Check out this cool new study on metabolism and cell fate from my former lab mates @PeggyPHsu and @BrianTDo1!.
Excited to share our work investigating how manipulating one aspect of #metabolism leads to changes in #cellfate. ⭐️ SO lucky to work with superstar @BrianTDo1 on this, and thx to @mvh_lab and all our collaborators!. Looking forward to the feedback! 🙏.

My last major postdoc paper is out today, a great collaboration between @mvh_lab and @melissa_skala lab on redox interactions in pancreatic cancer.
Happy to share some new work with @rupsa and @allison_n_lau from a collaboration between @mvh_lab and @melissa_skala out today in @ScienceAdvances. See below for details.
