Today’s #JEMjc @jem.org highlights the work of Alan Saltiel & colleagues @nature.com reporting the role of neutrophil-derived IL-1β in preserving lipid stores during metabolic stress. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Absolutely stoked to have this published in @plosbiology.org We looked at the metabolism of #Klebsiella pneumoniae 🦠🧫. We not only demonstrated lineage-specific #metabolism, but that lineages can cross-feed and support each other. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... #MicroSky #microbiology 🧬 🧪 💊

🚀 We’re hiring a Postdoc! Seeking expertise in spatial metabolite imaging and/or mass spectrometry to study how host metabolism shapes immune responses. If you're creative, collegial, and excited to push boundaries, we’d love to hear from you. Please share! 🔗 www.nature.com/naturecareer...

🚨 New review out from our lab! We’re pleased to share our latest article @cp-cellreports.bsky.social exploring the airway immunometabolic response to common bacterial and viral pathogens. Shout out to @ridhimaw.bsky.social, Eric Tang and Roy Wong. 👉 Read it here: www.cell.com/cell-reports...

#WeekendRead! #ImmunometabolismPower! Kunkemoeller @hannahprendeville.bsky.social @lydialynch.bsky.social &co show @natmetabolism.nature.com that not all fats are equal & that animal, & not plant, fats drive immune suppressive metabolites dampening NK & T cell anti #tumor responses!

Truly honored and thankful to receive an R35 MIRA grant from NIGMS - grateful for the support and the opportunity to pursue our research on diet-mediated immunometabolic responses in the context of infectious diseases.

Pleased to share our latest study @natcomms.nature.com! We show that the host metabolites fumarate and itaconate impose selective pressure on Staphylococcus aureus, driving its adaptation via the enzyme FumC. Grateful to all who contributed to this work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Appreciate the Rutgers News feature on this year’s i3D Symposium. It was a great opportunity to bring together researchers across multiple disciplines. Thanks to everyone who contributed to a successful event. www.rutgers.edu/news/expandi...

Pleased to have co-chaired the 2025 Rutgers Symposium with @jackhsu.bsky.social #hostpathogeninteractions #immunometabolism Many thanks to all our speakers! @aiinglim.bsky.social @shanluliu.bsky.social @roi1avraham.bsky.social @briandaniels.bsky.social and many others

Congratulations @daneparkerlab.com! Rutgers NJ Medical School Faculty of the Year Award! Well deserved!

Excited to share our preprint demonstrating how fumarate metabolism by host and pathogen promotes pneumonia! Itaconate synergizes with fumarate, driving staphylococcal adaptation for survival. Check it out!👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Itaconate modulates immune responses via inhibition of peroxiredoxin 5 @natmetabolism.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s42... www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Bacterial pneumonia induces senescence in resident alveolar macrophages that are outcompeted by monocytes @cp-cellreports.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Thrilled to present my lab’s work at @escmid.bsky.social. Also chuffed to have bumped into fellow @klebclub.bsky.social member, Renee @fleemanlab.bsky.social!

🎉 It's official! Our lab website is LIVE! Come check it out to learn about our research, meet the team, and see what exciting things we're working on! www.taniawonglabrutgers.com

#LocationLocationLocation! @soleimanpourlab.bsky.social &co show @science.org that loss of mitochondrial functionality drives defective OXPHOS activating a retrograde signal from mitochondria to nuclei causing chromatin remodeling & immaturity in metabolic tissues www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

#WeekendRead! #LipidPower! @miriammerad.bsky.social &co show @natimmunol.bsky.social that to get activated, #DCs steal from cell debris & produce their own cholesterol which is organized in plasma membrane lipid nanodomains! AXL reduces this process & its deletion augment anti-tumor immunity!

SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections in previously vaccinated individuals are characterized by reduced activation of innate immune responses www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @blishlab.bsky.social

Come and join our team at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! We are seeking a Sr Scientist to advance our research on immune responses to infection/vaccination. This is a financially stable position offering a highly competitive salary and excellent benefits. talent.stjude.org/careers/jobs...

Thanks to @cp-trendsendomet.bsky.social for giving us the opportunity to write about our favourite metabolite, fumarate. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Scientists have identified functional differences between human and mouse PD-1, which could impact preclinical research on cancer immunotherapies. Read more in #ScienceImmunology:
