Fantastic MVH lab retreat featuring all you can eat buffets, lab FIFA, inspiring talks from Matt and others, s'mores by the firepit, and a suprise DJ set by @EdreesRashan aka Rich Media and MyoDJ. Lab retreats are special because we all learn more about each other as people

I’m thrilled to share that Tony Zhang, a postdoctoral fellow in my lab at the @kochinstitute, has been awarded an early stage K99 award from the NCI/NIH! He is studying how whole-body metabolism drives cancer cachexia. Please join me in congratulating Tony on this honor!
Happy to announce that I was awarded a pathway to independence award (K99) from the NCI/NIH today to work on studying whole-body metabolism driving cancer cachexia. None of this would be possible without support from @DamonRunyon and mentorship from @Transactivator and mvhlab.

As promised, a 🧵 on our recent article now out in @NatureSMB! Co-led with @AbbyBartlett_ @Pagliarini_Lab @JudithSimcox, we find ACAD10/11 are NOT like other acyl-CoA dehydrogenases and instead catabolize atypical lipids called 4-hydroxy acids 🤯#lipidtime

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology - Rashan, Bartlett and colleagues show that mammalian 4-hydroxy fatty acids are primarily catabolized by ACAD10 and ACAD11 (atypical mitochondrial and...

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

Congratulations, Jared! We are so excited for you to begin the next phase of your stellar career! We know you will continue to do great things!
Excited to share I will be joining @fredhutch this fall as an Assistant Professor in Human Biology. We will investigate the metabolism of microbes that drive human diseases from infections to cancer. Recruiting soon, so stay tuned. Thanks to @BalskusLab @mvh_lab @BWHPulmCCM.

Hi #metabolism twitter. ~5 years ago wrote a review with @mvh_lab and @DMM_Journal about how the microenvironment drives many metabolic features/targets of cancers: https://t.co/SVCY0p4Sm7 1/7
journals.biologists.com
Summary: Here, we discuss the model systems for cancer metabolism studies and highlight their key strengths and pitfalls in addressing different questions, such as how the microenvironment affects...
