Happy that Kelly Conger had a chance to show her work!

Happy to share our new paper out in Immunity on ketolysis as a metabolic driver of CD8 T cell responses. Great work spearheaded by Katarzyna M Luda and Joseph Longo and fun collaboration with Peter Crawford.

Hey look at that! Very proud of vipin rawat and the rest of the large team who worked on this paper. We really needed tons of help on this one and we got it. What's better than doing science with old and new friends?!?!

Our review paper on mechanical force-induced drug resistance w/ Triantafyllos Stylianopoulos just published in Trends in Cancer Trends in Cancer. Open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.trec… Wonderful work by Maria Kalli & Matt Poskus. Support from nick UPMC Hillman Cancer Center Pitt Bioengineering Swanson School of Engineering UPMC

Congrats to the John Albeck! I'm excited to read this!

Metabolism and Nutritional Programming at VAI is recruiting for faculty to join the Van Andel Institute (VAI) Metabolism Department at all ranks. Join a growing and dynamic group using cutting edge technology to study the metabolic underpinnings of chronic disease. vai.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/VAICaree…

We're really excited about this new pre-print from Kelly Conger Coloff Lab with help from our collaborators Chris Chidley DeNicola Lab Ben-Sahra Lab and more. There have been many assumptions made about serine transporters in cancer and and we're happy to add some data!

Our department UIC Physiology is hiring faculty studying tumor metabolism and/or microenvironment! This is a truly a great place to have a lab and there is a ton of momentum with the University of Illinois Cancer Center. Please RT and let me know if you have any questions! uic.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…

Congrats to Kelly Conger on an outstanding thesis defense yesterday! We're very proud of you and excited that our first PhD candidate is now Dr. Conger!

Well deserved, Dan!

Renowned researcher and radiation oncologist Dr. Alec Kimmelman, whose discoveries have created new hope for patients, has been named director of the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health. Learn more: bit.ly/3usDYOe

Super pumped to share our review in Molecular Cell led by Fabio Hecht, Marco Zocchi, and Fatemeh Alimohammadi! authors.elsevier.com/a/1iA8-3vVUPNz…

#KSTumorMetab24 - 3 days of great science has come to an end. Thanks to our incredible speakers, session chairs, poster presenters, audience & my amazing co-chairs DeNicola Lab & David Shackelford! 🙌🇨🇦 See you next year!

Excited to share our latest work revealing the requirements of pyrimidine nucleotides in the control of glucose oxidation and lipogenesis published in Science Magazine. Huge congratulations to co-first authors Umakant Sahu and Elodie Villa! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

So excited to see this out! Congrats Chris Chidley

Yesterday I sent a letter with Tammy Duckworth & 15 bipartisan members of the IL delegation to NIH in support of University of Illinois Cancer Center’s application to obtain NCI designation—bringing resources for cancer research & treatments to patients across our state:

Could not be prouder of this work or more grateful to the whole team for this one. Shoutout to Coloff Lab for this original meme that *perfectly* summarizes the paper. Check out the final print here: ASCT2 is a major contributor to serine uptake in cancer cells: Cell Reports

The Coloff Lab is looking for postdocs interested in tumor metabolism to join our growing group! Please reach out to me or apply at the link below. Experience in lipid metabolism is a plus! uic.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…
