Professor King understood that impactful researchers can benefit broader society by teaching about their #science, and that education is improved when we bring frontier research ideas in the classroom.

I was honored to give the L. Carroll King Memorial Lectures at Northwestern University, sponsored by the Chemistry Department. Professor King was a pioneering researcher and #teacher who joined Northwestern’s faculty in 1942. He was active in advancing ideas about chemical #education

I’m excited to lead this new journal that will focus on how cells interact with their environment. We are assembling a top tier editorial board, key partnerships, and looking to be the primary forum for the rapidly growing field of spatial biology.

Congratulations to IICD member @brentstockwell.bsky.social who was awarded an NCI P01 grant with Xuejun Jiang (MSK) and Wei Gu (CUIMC). Read more: cancerdynamics.columbia.edu/news/brent-s... cc: @columbiacancer.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social @columbiamed.bsky.social

Congrats to Jenny and Liam on our Prevew in Molecular Cell on the excellent paper by Yaqin Deng, Jin Ye et al in the same issue describing a new protection mechanism against #ferroptosis by #DHA — Here is a free download: authors.elsevier.com/a/1loAH3vVUP... @MolecularCell @Columbia

Thanks to James Olzmann and Scott Dixon for organizing a fantastic #faseb #ferroptosis meeting in Scottsdale AZ! Lots of great science as ferroptosis continues to impact diverse biology and diseases. Can’t wait for the next one! @olzmannlab.bsky.social

Congrats to Tyson Sharp and his colleagues on the bioRxiv paper on LIMD1 loss conferring #GPX4 sensitivity in lung cancer. An important #cancer #ferroptosis study. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It was great fun to be there!

Here is our latest paper in @ACSBiol on compounds that restore activity to the R152H GPX4 variant, found in patients with SSMD. Congrats to Hengrui, Farhad and Russ on a great collaboration! @columbia #ferroptosis pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

📢 The May IICD newsletter is live! Highlights include CINner—our new tool in @plos.org by @khanhndinh.bsky.social lab, #CancerResearchMonth spotlights on @brentstockwell.bsky.social & Yue Wang, and recent achievements from our community.🔗 Read the full issue: bit.ly/43fNAe7

It was a true pleasure to visit such an outstanding group of faculty and students! Can’t wait to see all the great discoveries that will emerge from the #moleculartherapeutics division

🔬 During #CancerResearchMonth, we’re spotlighting @brentstockwell.bsky.social, exploring ferroptosis as a powerful way to eliminate aggressive cancers. His latest work links diet and cancer treatment: bit.ly/4iNEWc5 @columbiacancer.bsky.social @columbiamed.bsky.social @columbiasysbio.bsky.social

Looking forward to hosting the first #ferroptosis cancer symposium at #AACR25 in 30 minutes. Join us in person or online!

#FOLSCR is a new conference exploring all aspects of a form of cell death that results from iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Hear keynotes @ginadenicola.bsky.social and @brentstockwell.bsky.social with organizers Scott Dixon and @olzmannlab.bsky.social. Save your space: buff.ly/MmJsYQq

Congratulations Dean Gonzalez!

Only 4 days left to register. I hope to see many new ferroptosis researchers in Chicago!

Final deadline is imminent—last chance to join us in Chicago!

Only a few days left to register. We are loving the abstracts you are submitting!

Thank you @senkalce.bsky.social for hosting me for a fantastic visit at VCU! What an impressive group of faculty and students doing impactful science

It was great to meet you @pauladbos.bsky.social and spend time at VCU!

A few more days left to register!

We extended the deadline on the #Chicago #ASBMB #Ferroptosis meeting! 12 short talks will be selected from the abstracts. Register for what we expect to be a great conference! www.asbmb.org/meetings-eve...

I wouldn’t forget about blood transfusion. www.weforum.org/stories/2018...

I finally joined! I am a professor at UC Berkeley. My lab is interested in the cell biology and therapeutic targeting of lipid homeostasis: lipid droplets, protein & lipid quality control, lipid damage & ferroptosis, and drug discovery. Here is a pic of our group from our summer lab party. 💙
