New discovery from our team defining how human brain cancers rewire the metabolism of the normal brain published this week @nature.com and led by stellar postdoc Drew Scott (comentored by @lyssiotislab.bsky.social and currently on job market with a K99/R00). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am so happy to join the HHMI Gilliam community, keep working in cancer metabolism, and continuing my passions in scientific outreach and communication! Huge thanks to all of my current and past mentors! @lyssiotislab.bsky.social, @ajdiazphd.bsky.social, Dr. Yatrik Shah

I’m so happy to share a project very close to my ❤️ launching this September: Atlas de Científicxs Latinoamericanxs que Inspiran ✨ We’re currently collecting nominations! This atlas spotlights researchers from LATAM who trained in the North & returned home to lead labs. Here’s why this matters 🧵👇

Last week we wrapped up DFB 2025 and it was such an amazing experience! All the work in putting the course together pays off when you see the excitement in the students eyes. Can’t wait for next year! 🔬💛💙〽️

Happy to share our most recent review on mitochondria-organelle metabolic communication with Yatrik Shah and Costas Lyssiotis now online at Molecular Cell! We explored aspect of lipid transfer, organelle membrane contacts, ROS, metabolites, and metals! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We're thrilled to welcome the Rogel and Blondy Center for Pancreatic Cancer at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center as our Premier Sponsor for #PanCANPurpleStride Michigan! 💜🎉 Learn more about why they stride: pcan.at/n6fdia

Abstracts are due TOMORROW! Please share!

If you are immigrant into the US and work in the biomedical sciences (like me) and are still young (not like me), please apply for the Vilcek prizes for Creative Promise founded by an inspiring immigrant couple, Marica and Jan Vilcek. vilcek.org/prizes/vilce...

The @lyssiotislab.bsky.social and the Cancer Biology 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!

Yesterday, the House passed an FY25 budget bill that slashes funding to the Pancreatic Cancer Research Program by 57%. Research for pancreatic cancer is already woefully underfunded, and now the only program exclusively funding pancreatic cancer research is one step closer to devastating cuts.

Big congrats to everyone who’s applied to grad school! 🥳🎉 It’s a huge milestone, and we’re so proud of all the hard work you’ve put in. Take a moment to celebrate—you deserve it! 🌟 Tag a friend who’s on this journey so we can cheer them on too! 🙌🎓

Looking forward to sharing some work on endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria contact biology and metabolism at #cellbio2024 @ascbiology.bsky.social I’m also looking for opportunities to learn more about industry internships! Please reach out if you’ll be in sunny San Diego!

If you are attending #ASCB2024, check out this suite of Shah/Lyssiotis Lab presentations! @brandontwchen.bsky.social

This is huge! Congratulations to all 34 GSEC 2024 recipients!
