Fabulous day and amazing city 🥳🥳. With pleasure; I am in San Diego, USA for presenting my PhD work, conducted Lee Roberts University of Leeds, at The Liver Meeting 2024 AASLD which is being organised by the American Association for the Study of Liver and Diseases.



Great panel Q&A session at the LICAMM career academies PGR away day. Many thanks to Kat Miteva, Amy Turner, Ph.D from Proteintech Group, Dr Abigail Byford and serat ali for all the useful tips on career pathways after a PhD. @LeedsMedHealth



Congratulations to 1st year PhD students in the lab Anna Malicka and Aysha Ali and Fellow Amanda MacCannell, PhD on publication of their review in Experimental Physiology on brown adipose tissue-derived bioactive metabolite interorgan signalling. #brownadipose #metabokines physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/EP…

Metabolite-mediated inter-tissue signalling. Led by Jane Luk, PhD, MSci, AFHEA @MedicineDean in LICAMM published in Nature Communications, we identify malonic acid as an IGF1R-regulated endothelial-to-adipocyte metabokine mediating adipose metabolism. Great start to 2025. nature.com/articles/s4146…
