Where are you going, lipids? | Asst. Prof. at Houston Methodist Research Institute | Weill Cornell Medical College
Houston, TX
Joined March 2019
Our paper on cdk8/CDK19 with great collaborators Jenny and @EstherVerheyen has finally been published in Nature Communications after a long revision process (one and a half years). Please check it out !👇
Delighted to share our paper that was published today - great collaboration between my lab and Hyung-lok Chung (@lokhee7), Hugo Bellen, Oguz Kanca and others. This has been a huge achievement for my PhD student Jenny Liao and technician Claire Shih. 🎉🍾 https://t.co/oTb4FWx6PS

Great news! Jenny and Esther's endeavor was huge. It was indeed an epic journey as a team. Stay tuned.
Accepted! Finally...! This has been an epic journey (over 1.5 years). More details to follow... Biggest congrats to co-first authors Jenny Liao and @lokhee7 and my wonderful co-corresponding colleague Hugo Bellen. 🎉🍾

Great! It should be an exciting talk!
Looking forward to presenting our @CIHR-funded work in collaboration with @lokhee7 and Hugo Bellen's group on Cdk8/CDK19 at their modulation of mitochondrial dynamics at the #KSMitochondria24 symposium in Banff next week!

Everyone wants scientists to dare and think big but the career advice scientists actually get are always super risk averse: "make sure you pass the committee in flying colors" (so break your story down to small papers, don't set difficult goals in your research proposal, etc.)

So, in our recent editorial, @cleaverlab, @Lab_VPrince, and I pointed out the obvious: WE are the ones letting peer review destroy the future of academic biology. So, what can we do differently? Here's one idea in a very short 🧵 1/6 https://t.co/q3y0jjRPDC

@Cell_Metabolism @NeuroCellPress @Dev_Cell @AJHGNews We will explore the role of lipid metabolism in neuroinflammation & also further help diagnose and therapeutics for rare-common disease patients using our amazing fly model ! Please DM me or email hchung2@houstonmethodist.org for any inquiries or more information.
