We study metabolism and everything secreted! Katrin J. Svensson Assistant Professor @StanfordPath Metabolic Core Director @StanfordDRC @svenssonlab.bsky.social
For decades, we’ve known that the ENPP1 K173Q variant raises type 2 diabetes risk, but not why.
New work from @SongnanW in @li_lingyin's lab, in collaboration with @SvenssonLab, shows that this variant may promote metabolic dysfunction in brown adipose tissue.
Instead of starting with a disease and searching for a drug…we started with a therapy (individual vitamin) and asked: which genetic diseases might they rescue? Essentially a new flavor of nutrigenomics.
Today we share a technical report demonstrating how our drug design engine achieves a step-change in accuracy for predicting biomolecular structures, more than doubling the performance of AlphaFold 3 on key benchmarks and unlocking rational drug design even for examples it has never seen before.
Head to the comments to read our blog.
@anshulkundaje It happened earlier this year. LinkedIn doesn’t have the same algorithm to push content, so you pretty much only see the folks you follow.
I’ve found it useful for discussions (many ppl follow up in DM’s), but the automated comment suggestions need to be removed.

Launched today- the Weill Cancer Hub West -supporting transformative cancer research collaborations btw @UCSF & @Stanford. Honored to co-lead, with @longlabstanford, our team who will study the impact of diet on pancreatic cancer initiation, progression and therapy response.
Discovery of peptides as key regulators of metabolic and cardiovascular crosstalk.

Huge thanks to all the speakers at ADA2025 for sharing excellent science!! It was so fun to organize these sessions with @PaulTitchenell! This one is for you no-social-media-Nav
Grateful to the American Diabetes Association @AmDiabetesAssn for the opportunity to make a short film about our lab at Stanford University. We talk about peptides and their roles in metabolic health.
