The five academic love languages: 1. receiving gifts, 2. quality time, 3. words of affirmation, 4. acts of service, and 5. a day of uninterrupted research.

Incredibly proud of my first PhD student who successfully defended his dissertation today and unanimously passed! Well done Nawaz Ahmed, PhD super proud of you!

Latest work published today in #drugdelivery. Who knew these #avacado bioactives could be so functional. #nanotechnology Great work Nawaz Ahmed, PhD and team! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congratulations to the exceptional trio of Ussher, Mulvihill & Campbell and their trainees and collaborators. Rigorous scientists, well rounded human beings-put your $$ on these folks going forward

Obesity is clearly being reported as one of the most significant risk factors for COVID19. The question is why? There are likely multiple reasons including an existing inflammatory state for people living with obesity. Let’s start taking obesity seriously. #obesity #COVID

#UofG Prof. Paul Spagnuolo awarded federal funding to investigate how nutraceuticals can help in fighting off infection from the #COVID19 virus Learn more: uoguel.ph/rdw43

Always thrilled to present and attend (virtually this year of course) at The Annual Drug Repositioning, Repurposing and Rescue Conference: drugrepositioningconference.com/index/

Thanks Kelsey Fisher-Wellman, PhD! Great work by all, especially Matt Tcheng- PhD candidate in my group, highlighting a novel and key metabolic vulnerability in #leukemia. @BloodJournal University of Guelph News

Cancer care will consume >80% of cancer spending by 2030. Only 6% of drugs approved between 2006-17 showed improvement in Quality of Life while 70% showed ZERO improvement in survival. Yet, who is concerned that 42% cancer patients will be financially RUINED by year 2+?

With new funding in place, we are currently recruiting up to 3 new MSc and PhD students for Sept. 2023. Projects will focus on metabolic contributions to muscle weakness in muscular dystrophies and cancer cachexia. Committed students driven by curiosity should apply. Pls share!

I wrote about the new anti-obesity drugs—semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro)—that represent one of the most important breakthroughs in medicine erictopol.substack.com/p/the-new-obes…

Hiring! 1) Post doctoral fellow in cancer cell metabolism. Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada funded project examining a metabolic vulnerability in AML. 2) NSERC / CRSNG -funded PhD Student examining food bioactive/target binding DM for more details and fellow PIs, please share. Thanks!
