The largest description of cancer #cachexia to date across all tumor types and over time using data from 60,000 people. @edreznik.bsky.social redefines what we know about human cachexia integrating genetics, lab values, and treatment lines. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
A health-system-scale, episode-resolved multimodal atlas of cancer cachexia
Cancer cachexia is a wasting syndrome with outsized impact on morbidity and mortality. Neither the etiology of cachexia, nor its consequences on patient physiology and outcomes, are well-understood. H...

Excited to share our latest work in collaboration with the @edreznik.bsky.social lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social, where we describe functionally dominant mitochondrial DNA mutations in patient tumors. So, what is functional dominance in mitochondrial genetics, I hear you ask?

Functionally dominant hotspot mutations of mitochondrial ribosomal RNA genes in cancer
Nature Genetics - Analysis of 14,106 tumor genomes highlights recurrent mutations in mitochondrial ribosomal RNA encoded within the mitochondrial genome. Mutations occur at hotspot positions and...

For those of you hunting for your next position, please consider applying for a postdoctoral position in our lab. Our science is wild and exciting, and I promise to train and feed (yes, w/free food) you well. It doesn't hurt that we are on a publication hot streak.

Excited to tell you about a new method from our lab, UnitedMet, which imputes metabolite levels/ isotope tracing from RNA data. It features the best first sentence I've ever written: "Comprehensively studying metabolism requires metabolite measurements." www.nature.com/articles/s43...

A culmination of ~5 years of work, today our work on biallelic alterations across tumor suppressor genes is published in
@cellcellpress.bsky.social With Mark Zucker, Maria Perry, and Chai Bandlamudi www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
Pan-cancer analysis of biallelic inactivation in tumor suppressor genes identifies KEAP1 zygosity as a predictive biomarker in lung cancer
Selective pressure for biallelic inactivation varies widely across tumor suppressor genes and is a biomarker for therapeutic response, providing new insights into Knudson’s two-hit hypothesis.
