Busy month for the Flak lab. We have four publications in press. Three available right now. Check it out if you are interested in how GCGR agonism reduces body weight, including mechanisms that involve the brain, or how high fat diet rewires the preoptic area.
Check out our new paper, with help from @SheetsLabIUSM and @HyunRohLab .
We identify a key downstream node from the Ventromedial hypothalamus in adaptive thermogenesis that is crucial for energy balance.

Congratulations to all the IBMG students recognized at the White Coat & Milestone ceremony tonight! Special shout-out to Andrew Elmendorf from the #FlakLab in this excellent cohort. Proud to celebrate with them on this big accomplishment. @IUMedSchool
Congratulations to Assistant Investigator @JonathanFlak on receiving his first @NIDDKgov R01 grant for $1.8 million over five years! The #FlakLab is studying the neurocircuit activated by the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus to control energy expenditure.
Congratulations to Dr. Jonathan Flak (@JonathanFlak) on receiving his first NIH R01 grant entitled, “Defining the neurocircuit activated by the VMH to control energy expenditure.”
This morning I got the formal Notice of Award from the @NIDDKgov for my R01. After multiple revisions, COVID lockdown, a baby, and lots of ups and downs, I'm happy to see the hard work pay off. Thanks to the #FlakLab, @INBiosciences, and @IUSMPharmTox for helping me get here.
