Congrats to @UMPhysiology PhD student Kathryn Buscher from the @yatrikshahlab for receiving a F31 Fellowship from @NIH @NIDDK. Kathryn's research is trying understand how metabolism regulates fibrosis in metabolic dysfunction steatotic liver disease

Brain tumor metabolism: the sequel just dropped 🎬

Patients get nutrients. GBM crashes the party, hogs the serine & misuses purines.

We built it a digital mirror w/ genetics + isotope tracing. It glimpsed its greed & had an existential crisis.

Come watch tumors face the music!

400 metabolism-minded scientists from >40 Universities converged on @UMich for our action-packed #MidwestMetabolism-#TRiMAD symposium 🧑‍🔬👨‍🔬

Thanks to co-host @VAInstitute and sponsors @UMPhysiology, @UMRogelCancer, Caswell Diabetes Ctr, Taubman Med Res Ctr, @CaymanChemical 🙏🏼

[Julia Ugras @julia_ugras]

The @LyssiotisLab and the Cancer Bio Program were out in full force at the One Day Closer to a Cure event. Annually, we host activities for high school students to learn about careers in cancer research and patient care. Special shoutout to Katie for an amazing patient story!

Congress is voting on a bill that cuts cancer research funding at the DoD by more than 50%! This would be devastating to the Pancreatic Cancer Research Program. Join me in telling Congress to vote NO on cuts! https://t.co/KbghsgT3qI

Daniel Wahl (@DanWahlMD) will examine how glioblastoma cells siphon nutrients from surrounding non-cancerous cells in the brain to fuel tumor growth and treatment resistance, information that will be used to develop improved therapies. @UMRogelCancer @umichmedicine

Come to the #422 booth in the #NiSTEM for @SACNAS!
We can talk about all the PhD programs that PIBS offers, such as the @UMPhysiology, research opportunities, graduate school application process😊

[Ben-Sahra Lab @bensahralab]

Outstanding talk by Erik Peterson from @DanWahlMD lab at @UMich on the role of the purine salvage pathway in GBM treatment resistance! #MiwestMetabolismMeeting

[Lyssiotis Lab @LyssiotisLab]

What an excellent meeting. Midwest has the best Metabolism 💪🏼

Thanks to @bensahralab, Nav, & Clara (@NorthwesternMed, @LurieCancer) for hosting. See ya next year in Ann Arbor!

[Steve DeAngelo @SDeangelo95]

Thrilled to share that my thesis work on #ferroptosis is now live on @biorxivpreprint!

Here in the @YatrikShahLab we show that RSL3 is a non-selective inhibitor of the Selenoproteome, revealing new therapeutic opportunities in #colorectalcancer

Mental health advocacy and cancer research are my two biggest passions, and I’m lucky to be able to engage with these passions often. This November, I’m attempting to fundraise for men’s mental health and prostate + testicular cancer research through (🧵)
