So excited to see what happens next for the @JamieBlum7 Lab!
We’re thrilled to announce that immunologist Jamie Blum will join the Salk faculty this September! With support from the NOMIS Foundation, Blum's lab will explore how the immune system responds to food—figuring out why some foods trigger allergic reactions while others are more

Interested in how mitochondrial and nuclear DNA are affected by folate and B12 availability? Spoiler: the mitochondrial DNA might hold the key! Thanks to co-authors from @CornellNutri @CornellCHE @CornellCALS

Folate and vitamin B12 (B12) are essential cofactors in folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism (FOCM). FOCM includes a series of methyl transfer reactions for methionine regeneration and de novo...

It is a major PhD project of @YitangS. I am very excited to see this work out. I learned so much about the genetics of circulating fatty acids. This is a solid foundation for more research to come regarding gene-diet interactions for omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
The latest @HGGAdvances article from @yekaixiong & colleagues reports the results of a genome-wide association study that identifies additional genetic loci for 19 circulating fatty acid traits in UK Biobank participants of European ancestry: https://t.co/fjy9eqhNMN
