RESEARCH | R Liu, H Shen et al. (Yale):

A new method enables a thorough characterization of coenzyme A dynamics and subcellular partitioning. 🧪
Cellular pan-chain acyl-CoA profiling reveals SLC25A42/SLC25A16 in mitochondrial CoA import and metabolism - Nature Metabolism
By developing a method that allows detection of transient, low-abundance acyl-CoA species, Liu et al. provide a thorough characterization of coenzyme A dynamics and subcellular partitioning.

Excited to share our work just published in @natmetabolism.nature.com examining melanoma tumor metabolism in patients and how well this is (and isn’t) conserved in patient-derived xenograft models.

Proud to share our latest work in ‪#CancerCell‬ in collaboration with the @mannlab.bsky.social: we map the progression from borderline ovarian tumors to low-grade serous ovarian cancer and propose a promising new therapeutic strategy.

1/My 7th grader's science homework is to learn the elements Memorize atomic masses. She points out that carbon has a mass of 12. My life passes before my eyes. Finally, my chance to explain what I've been doing for 20 yrs. So I say, kind of casually, "you know, sometimes carbon has a mass of 13..."

1/For over a decade, we’ve been studying tumor metabolism in patients with non-small cell lung cancer

This long-term commitment allowed us to connect tumor metabolic features to patient outcomes

I’m really proud to announce the 2025 Cancer Metabolism Showcase and Workshop, May 5th and 6th, 9:30 AM - 3 PM EST. This year, our Keynote Speaker is Dr. Jeffrey Rathmell from VUMC.

I'm excited to come together, talk science, and support researchers in our field.

My lab and I were ecstatic to be funded by the VFoundation and Astrazeneca.

Learning it was also sponsored by Hockey Fights Cancer was extra special to my Canadian, hockey-obsessed self.

Experiencing the Winter Classic? A dream come true.
