I was honored to visit UT MD Anderson to receive the Mike Hogg Award. The highlights were not only the ceremony but also the conversations with researchers there, especially around their passion for #ferroptosis and new ideas about #cancertherapeutics. Few places in the world combine that depth of resources with that caliber of people. I’m grateful to the award committee and everyone who met with me for the hospitality, and excited to see what comes next from MD Anderson! @Columbia

🚀EXO Frontiers | The Caspase-2 Paradox
Caspase-2 removes polyploid cells—yet the liver depends on them. Why?
A “rheostat” model:
short-term loss may be adaptive, but chronic deficiency → pathogenic ploidy, ferroptosis & ↑ HCC risk.

I was honored and grateful for the invitation to deliver the William E.M. Lands Lecture at the University of Michigan. Dr. Lands’ pioneering work on the Lands cycle and phospholipid remodeling continues to shape how we think about lipid biology, #ferroptosis and its roles in health and disease. I am thrilled to be among those leaders selected to give this important lecture.

It was a true pleasure to spend time with outstanding faculty and students and colleagues in the Department of Biological Chemistry, including Drs. Phyllis Hanson, Weiping Zou, Yatrik Shah, Melanie Ohi, Ruma Banerjee, Stephen Ragsdale, Jim Shayman, Shyamal Mosalaganti, and Filipa Barroso Pereira, Peter Arvan, Janet Smith, and Jeff Johnson.

Thank you to the University of Michigan for the warm welcome and to everyone who made this visit so memorable, and good luck in the Final Four!!

Congrats to Ed Reznik, former MD-PHD student in my lab, and the whole team on publication of our paper "Lipidomic changes in persister cancer cells drive enhanced ferroptosis sensitivity" in the new journal Ferroptosis and Oxidative Stress! https://t.co/SdVxknypX8 (free w/ no subscription and no APCs) We found that lipid changes are key to making drug-tolerant persister cells sensitive to ferroptosis, building on the pioneering work of Doug Green, Matthew Hangauer, Vasanthi Viswanathan, John Eaton, Stuart Schreiber, Frank McCormick, and Michael McManus. One step in the dream of eliminating the drug-resistant cancers that take so many lives.

[Brent Stockwell @bstockwell]

Congrats!

I was honored to give the L. Carroll King Memorial Lectures at @NUChemistry Northwestern University, sponsored by the Chemistry Department.

Professor King was a pioneering researcher and #teacher who joined Northwestern’s faculty in 1942. He was active in advancing ideas about chemical #education, along with developing frontier organic #chemistry, such as the King reaction and the development of compounds for sickle cell anemia. He appeared on TV in Chicago Educational Television and The Reviewing Stand, performed outreach to high school students.

Professor King understood that impactful researchers can benefit broader society by teaching about their #science, and that education is improved when we bring frontier research ideas in the classroom. I was impressed at how much this spirit of doing important research along with great teaching pervades the campus of Northwestern — it was a true pleasure to spend time with students and faculty there.

Physicists and neuroscientists have long understood that great benefits accrue from disseminating frontier research to society — you inspire the next generation of researchers to enter science and you remind the public about the importance of research to their lives.

We chemists and biologists need to remember the wisdom or Professor King and do more to get the word out to the public about the exciting work we are doing.

[Brent Stockwell @bstockwell]

I had a fantastic time at Northwestern with the great honor of giving the L. Carroll King lectures. Thank you to the wonderful community of faculty and students at this great institution!
