Congratulations to Mara Sherman Lab for being awarded the prestigious The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research 2025 Emerging Leader Award 👏 x.com/TheMarkFdn/sta…

The application deadline is this Friday, February 21st.

Hello everyone! I am helping to organize a one-day symposium on fluorescent metabolite biosensors and their use in metabolism research. It will be May 12-13 and associated with the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory “Mechanisms of Metabolic Signaling” Symposium. Our field needs to be

Tomorrow, I’ll be standing for science with my lab in NYC. Come learn what we do, why we need support to continue, and how this impacts everyone—because no one is immune to disease. Hope to see many New Yorkers, not just scientists, standing with us. standupforscience2025.org

So proud of my friend, the awesome scientist Itai Yanai, for defending science in Washington yesterday!

🔥New Night Science paper!! Discovery happens when your initial plans fall apart but it requires you to have a particular mindset: it's not extraverted, orderly, neurotic or agreeable that's the most important – discovery requires an OPENNESS to new ideas and unexpected insights.

New Night Science Podcast episode! We talk with Ethan Mollick – bestselling author of “Co-Intelligence” – about the need for scientists to actively experiment with AI tools, share their methods openly, and reconsider scientific workflows in light of rapid AI progress. Ethan Mollick

Our latest work, led by Benjamin Jackson and Angela Montero Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center demonstrates how intracellular metabolic gradients induce dependence on exogenous pyruvate in embryonic stem cells

We are excited to announce our 2025 UofU Diabetes Postdoctoral Rising Stars in Metabolism Symposium! This is truly a unique opportunity to network, present your research, and enjoy the breathtaking views that Salt Lake City has to offer. Deadline is May 15th, 2025. Please share!

Combined #preprint and paper alert! Together with Sohrab Shah and Vivian E. Strong, MD, we have been exploring a fundamental paradox of cancer biology: how can the immune response both suppress and facilitate tumorigenesis? (It's a 2-parter!) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#Preprint alert! Pioneering work by Tanmana Mitra sheds new insights into why T cells become metabolically exhausted during persistent antigen encounter: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Please join us in celebrating the 2025 Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Prize winners! This year’s six scientists have been selected for their bold ideas and potential to transform cancer research. The winners are: pershingsquarephilanthropies.org/news/the-persh…

I'm excited to start at UChicagoCancerCenter as chair of the Ben May Dept for Cancer Research and the Ludwig Cancer of UChicago! Things are moving already & we launched a faculty search for tumor microenvironment--take a look & apply! apply.interfolio.com/169039

🚨so excited about our new paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… The editors weren’t thrilled about using “palm reading” in the title (understandably 😉), but that’s what we’re doing: capturing hyperspectral images of ICU patients’ palms to diagnose sepsis using deep learning. 1/n

🚨Today, in Nature Cancer, we show that CAR-T cells and CAR-NK cells contain the seeds of their own self-destruction.

Why would anyone want to be a scientist? There are the pleasures of: 1. Having the initial idea or insight, 2. Watching the idea develop into new experiments or a new model, and 3. Telling others. Martin A. Schwartz also talks about this on the podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/74-…

"For half an hour, I vented everything I had been holding in for months … my supervisor listened patiently, then calmly offered a line I’ll never forget: 'You are here to learn to ride a bicycle, not to invent a bicycle.' That one sentence landed softly, but it cracked
